How often and how much should you feed an adult male l.gecko?

thanks,
CG

I generally feed our adults every other day. Spot right now I feed daily as he is recovering from surgery. I have tried daily feeding in the past and they are usually not interested. As for how much, I keep a bowl of meal worms in the enclosure at all times and give between 5 - 10 adult crickets every other day. If I put in 5 and a while later they are gone I put in more. If not I don't. Spot right now is eating 10 every day. Jessie eats 5 or so every other day and snacks on meal worms.

that sounds about right however i dont offer mealies but i do the same with the crickets. i feed everynight though. i find my geckos grow a lot quicker then other peoples babies and i feed them as much as they want. the bottom albino is almost six months and already 75 grams, and still growing. i cant wait to breed her to my male on top. he is around 75-80 i cant remember at the moment but i did not raise him. sorry about the bad pics.

Babies I feed daily. Adults I give crickets every other day. Sorry if I was not clear.
