how much to feed?

seems my veiled cham loves super mealworms and silkies almost too much. i've fed him up to 12 silkies/5-6 supers at one feeding(not both together though). is that too much? i almost have to beg him to eat crickets it seems. maybe i've spoiled him?

he's a full grown cham if that helps any.

Yea man, that's a lil much if you're feeding him all that in one day. Do you have any pics of your cham?

I'd feed him about 6-8 silkies and 3 supers every other day.

And I sent you a PM too bud :-)

Still too much (in my opinion).
My 2 year old male veiled eats the equivalent of 3 large superworms, every other day.
My adult female eats the equivalent of about 7 crickets, every other day.

holy crap! i'd figure they would be starving. then i think about how a cham would eat in the wild and they should be fine then. i've just got to slow down on the food.
