Your basking temps play a big role in the time digestion takes.

What are your current temperatures? ambients and basking?

100-110º F in basking spot

Jump those basking spots to 150, that should increase his disgestion time A LOT! That temp isn't good unless you have his basking spot on a very hot rock in which case I would take that out. My sav 24 sav goes thru 5 fuzzies a day and a but load of crickets and is willing to stuff his face more even after that. You didn't say humidity, etc. Please post that. It's important that your monitor get the right temps and humidity. GL
