Do not feed any insect bigger than the space between his eyes - if he's an adult you can cut them in half if too big babies that is a NO GO!

Hornworms are pretty squishy and mostly water. It should be okay to feed hornworms a bit larger than between the eyes. It'll be fine if you cut them in half, maybe cut them a bit smaller if your beardie is very young.
