    What time of day for feeding?

    I feed every 2 days-ish with a bowl of around 20 large (calcium coated/gut fed) meal worms. My guy eats around half but the bowl quantity means he can have a good meal if need be. Plus il keep 1-2 large locusts in the tank at all times just for variation.

    My 23 Day Old Leopard Gecko :)

    Hahaha ok thanks everyone. But in all serious, im finding it hard to ween him off crickets as a main feeder. Cut-up morio/super worms dont move enough for him to even notice so any other high fat food source would be appreciated :)
