Lol!
It would stop eating eventually, they know their limits (especially when they're older)...but even the juvies know that their little bellies can't fit 150 crickets!

Yes they can and will gorge and some will overeat, with both of these being two different issues. Usually they will learn not to gorge themselves to the point of regurge. However there are the few that you have to moderate because they never learn. Then you have the ones that will eat and eat and eat and get fat and then you have to moderate them as well. Either one is not really good.

We've had one Leo that would eat mealworms until he regurgitated them over and over again. We learned very quickly to monitor the number of worms he got!
The other problem with having that many crickets in the tank is that they will stress your gecko. Only put in as many as they can eat in an hour. You can always feed them again if they're still hungry. But you don't want extra crickets hopping all over or even biting your gecko.

i waited a couple days before i fed her, so she could settle in. her first meal i offered her something small. so i put three superworms in there and i swear she jumped up and down eagerly like a kid in a candy store LOL
