I don't really remember how I used to feed him when he was a baby. He's about 2 years old now, and once a week I go and get a dozen large crickets and I put some calcium dust in the bag and shake it a bit until they're all coated. Then I pour the whole bag in his tank and he usually eats a couple a day or whenever he is hungry. By the end of the week they're usually all gone, or there's a couple left. I figure it's good because he can eat whenever he chooses to. And about once a month I'll give him some large meal worms for some variation instead. I don't think he's eating too little, because he's actually kind of fat. He looks very healthy, and has a very plump tail. Is there anything wrong with feeding him this way? I've read people often feed them by giving them a certain amount of food and letting them eat for 20 minutes then removing whatever they don't eat, and doing this a certain amount of times a week. This seems like an unnecessary amount of work, and I'm very forgetful, and be worried I'd forget to feed him enough times during the week. Also he doesn't always come out of on of his hides immediately when I put cricket in. He prefers to eat at night when all the lights are off.
