I like to feed them multiple times a day. An adult, I will offer 4-5 adult crickets. About the same amount of superworms. It will take lots more regular mealworms to fill up a collared.

So about 10-15 a day. If the lizards throws it all up, try backing down to 2-3 crickets per feeding etc.

I have turned all lights off at night for years. They are fine!

Just turn them on when ya wake up, and then serve BREAKFAST when hes all heated up ....
