It depends a bit on how big the gecko will eventually be and how big the mealworms you're feeding are. Most of mine should mature in the ballpark of 50-70g but if you bought yours as a giant it may need to be fed more for longer. I feed my geckos over 40g 10-15 large mealworms every 3 days. I don't want them to gain fat or grow too fast. I weigh them every week or two and if they are still growing and gain more than 1g/week I cut back. Those that are growing gaster than 1g a week or starting to look chunky get fed every 4-5 days or even once a week if they are really chunky. If you post a picture people can help you decide if your gecko looks chunky or not :)

Theres no known giant lineage in her I'll try feeding every 3 days like you said> She eat large mealworms and once in a while I'll mix up like 6 large and 2 giants.
