Ah so much to learn! So I should just set a schedule of feeding. Like maybe one superworm per week. And maybe she will refuse if she really doesn't want it?No, that's not the way things work with ts.....the natural progression is to molt and be skinny...at their skinniest point...from there they fatten and a t will be at its fattest just prior to molting....you shouldn't be aiming at keeping any t at a certain size...let the t determine that for the most part....now with adults there definitely comes a point where no more food is required and at that point you can just await a molt....but be aware that a t should be rather plump prior to molting.
Mealworms will last 6 months or more in the fridge...they go dormant...its not a big deal to keep them in the fridge.
Its also important to note that super worms must be kept at room temps or they die, they're tropical....wax worms also don't fare well in the fridge and should also be kept at room temps or just slightly lower.
Yeah, a humid cage will kill a GBB...they require it to be dry. Only slings under 1" should be offered a damp area...and just an area.
