Khyber did not know specifically that Ben would gain access to Talpaedan DNA. Nor, however, did he know if Ben would not. Slamworms are fierce predators, and it is not unreasonable to say that Khyber likely had prior knowledge of them. In light of that, it comes as little surprise that he would add their DNA to the Nemetrix. The same can be said for Tyrannopede, Hypnotick, Mucilator, Vicetopus, and Terrorantula, the predators of other aliens Ben would also not unlock for years. Khyber was thinking ahead, and the Nemetrix is probably full of many other predators for aliens Ben has never used.
