Years ago something like this apparently happened to some kids white's tree frog on kingsnake and now so many people are "afraid" to feed both supers and mealies for this very reason. If my 8in leo can eat med supers I think you will be fine. If the chewing dosen't kill the worm the stomach acids will.

To answer the first question, its better safe than sorry, cut off the business end of the superworm and get it done with.
wat kind of fish live or dead such as cut up fish or meat would i be able to feed my basilisk every once in a while?
That is a myth that is heard from time to time. It was commented on as such in a recent fish mag. There is no documentation to support this would happen. Anytime someone claims something like this happened, I would require photo evidence. Even then, it is questionable with the latest in photo editing software available.

Do some searching man. I'm sure anything like tilapia or smelts would possibly be fine. But he might not eat it because they aren't alive.
I don't think fish are a necessary part of their diet. If you do want to offer it fish occasionally, try raising your own feeders; convicts, mollies, and guppies are all easy to breed. Alternatively you could probably get cheap fry from a local cichlid or livebearer enthusiast. Petstore feeders are usually pretty poor quality foods, malnourished and sickly.
Don't overlook earthworms. They are excellent feeders for any carnivorous lizard.

they do live in trees on the riverbank and spend alot of time by or in the river/stream so fish might be a small part of there diet i think
