how often?

SPY2 Mar 06, 2007 09:50 PM

Just a question for everyone how often do you feed your grown up males?

Because I just read that feeding everyday is very important to health, but I noticed some people only feed their chams every other day...

My panther ate about 15 this morning then my wife wanted to show my mother in-law how the tounge works while I was at work so she fed him 6 more...he ate em all =)

I feed adult male panthers every two or three days.

I feed my adult males several times daily. Rather, I offer a variety of insects several times daily and/or feed-range - Sometime they choose not to eat. But usually they will eat between 2 and 10 insects per day. I'm sure a portion of this is wasted, as in goes pretty close to straight into waste. I know sometimes they're not really hungry, as they'll choose not to eat the perfectly good crickets, waiting instead to see if I will offer roaches or silkworms or something else.
