While both are a good source of protein (especially hornworm), soft bodied worms are also usually high in fat. You can feed them to your BD, but I wouldn't recommend them as a daily feeder. As snack, on occasion, they would be great. They can also help fatten up an under weight dragon. The link below has a lot of nutritional information about just about everything these guys eat/can eat.

On a side note, I may be interested in your over stock. Feel free to PM me, and we could maybe discuss it some.

Hey I saw superworms on that list, I was told not to give them to our dragon unless we cut the heads off the worms, because supposedly they can't digest the heads and there's a slight chance of the superworm chewing through the dragon, ever hear of this? Thanks

That is a Myth, supers are fine as an occasional treat & no, you do not have the behead them ;) .
