I personally avoid earthworms because of potential parasite contamination. Mine loved them, but I saw a TV show where they had rescued a baby bird and the local humane society said not to give them earthworms from the bait store because of parasites and it made me realize that since there are pinworms, hookworms, etc. in soil, that I was probably feeding my dragons parasite eggs with each worm.

And I've heard that there is very little that's more nutritious than a nightcrawler. Use your own judgement.
