Well since they are bigger than mealworms. Id say if you jsut giving him a treat, about 5-8 a week.
Here is a table showing what superworms things are comparing mealies, but incase you want to change your mind:

Waxworms taste better for a treat than meal/superworms. Kind of fatty though (probably what makes them so good).
www.beautifuldragons.com has a good chart showing %'s of food
