Hey guys, havent been on in a while but cleo, my female veiled is doing very well, she had eye probs but i figured out it was from a newbie mistake, over supplementation. so anyway, she is about 5-6 months old, and she eats wells, drinks well. im wandering if she is large enough to take full grown crix, shes is about 4.5 inches STV, im sure shed have no prob, but just thought id ask, btw is the average size for a female veiled @ that age? thanx guys

Hey.. I'm no expert, but your cham should be able to eat full grown crickets, however, I wouldn't recommend it. From what I've heard smaller crickets are easier to digest and have slightly more nutritional value in them. My male jackson eats baby cricks and medium size cricks, but I never feed him full sized due to the fact that all he's going to get is a big crunch of nothing. That's only my opinion though so I'd suggest researching more on other websites. Hope I could help out.
