So how small is too small when it comes to food items? I understand it may be different among different genus and species, but there is a rulr of thumb to how big the prey should be ( ~ abdomen size).
I'm looking for some kind of answer other than you know it's too small when the T stops taking interest.
I've been feeding my adult T exclusively mealworms/beetles lately cz that's what I breed. It eats A LOT cz they're so small, but it is kind of cute seing the fangs holding "sphaghetti", or making a web bag to hold all those candies.
Is there any negative effects on this kind of feeding? I know a healthy diet should include variety. I also assume longevity is correlated with feeding schedule and amount. I'm also aware mealworms have a lot of fat.
It seems roaches are as easy to breed and to keep, but I feel like I shouldnt keep that kind of bugs in my house... I know the point of breeding roaches is bcs they get big, but I'm not confortable with how big some get.
Right now my T is recovering from a molt. It's been 2 and a half weeks, fangs looking dark, so it should be rly hungry. If it keeps not accepting worms, can I assume it is bcz they're too small?
(T is ~6 in LS)
