I've never heard of a hornworms, nor have I ever read about anyone feeding them to their geckos. Personally, I wouldn't feed my leos them.

hornworms get VERY large...I don't know if a leo could handle them! As far as health safety...I think they'd be fine, especially being soft bodied...however I think they're too large for leos. Those suckers get BIG!!!

yeah i bought four of them today cause the guy at the pet store said that they rarely get them in. They arent that big right now but i heard that they can get to be enourmous. They guy at the pet store said the they are good for chameleons so i assume that they wouldnt be bad for my geckos. Just wanted to make sure it would be okay before i give them to my geckos.
