Reptile & Amphibian Forums

First, thanks to all for the invaluable info that this forum provides. Our juvenile Leo, Echo, has doubled in size since we got her at Petco in August. (It's a shame their condition prior to "rescue" isn't better!) I credit all of you for her daily improvement in health as I am constantly reading the forum to improve my ability to care for her.

My question is what size and how many crickets should she have daily. She is a juvie, about 7in long, since we brought her home her tail has thickened substantially and she is really beefing up. I started her on small crickets, about 4 or 5 daily is all she would eat supplemented by mealies. I am now feeding her in a separate "feeder cage" and have switched her to med/lg crickets. She now consumes 2 lg. crix daily (I offer her more, but she stops at 2 and seems annoyed with the rest). She has a mealie dish and calcium dish in her cage at all times.

Since she is gaining and seems happy, does this sound OK? I just want her in the best possible health.

Thanks, as always!

As long as she has mealies available then it seems fine to me. She can eat those if she is hungry. Neither of our leos seems to bother much with crickets. It is like you say they eat a couple and then are annoyed by the rest. Well, Jesse eats a couple, Spot can't see them. THey both eat mealies though and like Echo are fat, happy, and fine.
