assuming the set-up is right humidity/heat/basking flood spot covering snout to vent etc i feed in one spot am/pm everyday, the monitor quickly figures out where to wait.

I usually bull dog clip the food which gives some resistance when feeding ( no sharp edges) when their use to it i swop over to tongs & feed am/pm.

After some time when their use to me & their waiting for me etc, i start to change to 3/4 days am feeding's only & them a day or so break. Then 2/3 pm feeding's & then a couple of days break depending on age etc, then maybe back to am/pm feeding's for a few days just to keep them guessing!

Seems to keep them looking for food rather then becoming set in a routine the rest of their life, not what i want!
