Tuesday - all hornworms.... exactly how many are you going to be giving him that day? Hornworms are typically good for rehydrating, but too many of them can actually be bad. I'd add in a couple crickets on Tuesday, instead of giving all hornworms. IMHO.
I'd also get more insect variety. That's just my honest opinion. The more, the better.

Way to many worms. Crickets / roaches should be the main staple IMHO. Once panthers reach 1.5 to 2 years old you can back off to every other day feedings. Especially for females that you are not planning on breading. Over feeding a female can cause her to produce infertile eggs. Also you want and need to make sure you are doing a good job on supplements. 2 times a month calcium w/ D3, 2 times a month multi vitamin (w/ beta carotine A). All other days 100% calcium.

Worms are a more candy like feeder, as mentioned earlier, roaches and crickets are the best base feeder since they don't contain as much fat and more proper nutrition to keep your cham healthy. My panther would sure wish to only eat super worms! Today I had to put a roach in his mouth while he was chewing on a super worm

I do the exact same thing having to sneak dubia roaches in his mouth, lol! It's his least favorite feeder, but I don't spoil him and give him what he wants all the time.
