Hello everyone, i have two leos in a 55 gallon tank, and i am tired of the crickets running/hiding around. Since the tank is really big with many hiding places for crickets, the leos are not able to eat them. Does any one have any tips or things they have made for putting crickets in, like something that the leos could eat them out of, a dish of some sort. thank you very much

Hi, I had the same problem and here is what I always do now. I feed them crickets in a feeding tub. I have a big plastic tub (Sterilite approx. 24 x 16 x 13 inches high) and I put papertowels down on the bottom, put one our two leos in and put in the crickets. They chomp happily until they're full. I watch so no tails are bitten by mistake. When they're full, I put them back and put in the next two to eat. Another advantage to this method is, I can really keep track of who is eating and exactly how much.
