They shouldn't be fed right before bedtime, because they need basking time in order to digest their food. First thing in the morning, or at least 4-5 hours before lights out is what I would suggest.

fed around the same time each day but it may not be that big of a deal if you can't always stick to a schedule. I'd just make sure to feed them 2hrs. before the lights go out at night. 4-5 hrs. seems to be pushing it a little from everything I've read.
