Yeah If you can afford it go for it, but they do need variety regardless. Crickets aren't the best feeder but they do create a lot of stimulation for your Cham when they hunt them.
As for keeping them. I would obviously suggest getting a Rubbermaid like I did and turning upside, cutting a hole and suspending mesh screen about 2/3 the way up. The bottom needs to be an easy to remove lid so the waste collected at the bottom can be discarded without disturbing your worms. I used a drill and made four small holes on each side about a 1/2 inch apart and put zip toes through them to suspend the mesh. You want to avoid any chemical substance to help suspend the mesh of course because its your chams food.
Silk worms are very fragile can not thrive in a bacteria ridden environment so you will need to sanitize this enclosure before placing them in it. I use a few drops of iodiphor sanitizer in a full sink and dunk it, then let it air dry on top or paper towels.
After that just purchase your bulk worms and food from coastal silkworms and you are set. Just be sure to follow the instructions on the packet in regards to preparing the food
Nothing special but I wanted to share what I made today.
The only issue now is I need mesh with large holes. Ill upgrade once I've fed these dudes off
