I am considering the same set up. A 20L tank where they live and my old 10 gal for feeding. Side by side. I'd have to consider if the smaller one would get a heater or not. Maybe to reduce the care of keeping that one at a good temp?
Curious how long yours are and how much and often you feed time.
I read one should feed hatchlings every day but at 2.5 - 3", unsure if they still count as hatchlings.
Also, how much is a good amount?
I read as big as their head in pellets (or equivalent). Or enough for time to eat in 20 mins? 10 mins? I'd rather do the amount vs. time. I started given them about 5 Reptomin pellets a day.
Now the 3" one eats about 12 - 15 a day and the smaller one eats about 5 - 7". 5 days a week of pellets or protein. Two days of veggies. Any tips? I don't want them to get too fat.
Yeah, they beg like crazy!
