If your gecko will eat them, they sure can be the staple. They have an excellent nutritional profile, are soft bodied and highly digestible. But realize- some geckos love them, others won't touch them...so before you go buying a silkworm raising kit, it's best to get just a few and see how your gecko(s) like them.

where is the cheapiest place to buy silkworms?

or try Reptile Depot since they sell them in much smaller quantity than Mulberry Farms just in case the geckos won't eat them.
