From what ive heard they do make a good staple yes. But you should always add a mixture of foods. Just feed your leo say ten of them if they all get eaten add some more and count how many get eaten then u know for the next night how mnay to put in Hope this helps some.Check out my site for more info.

10 silkworms a night would be a VERY expensive dinner. They cost about 75 cents per worm at my store. But i'm also in Canada, and things are more expensive up here.
Unless your very wealthy silkworms tend to be more of a treat. But they are VERY nutritious as they are low in phosphate and high in calcium
