Ok, so I've done my research on these little buggers, and I can find out all about what they eat, how they eat, etc... but not how often?

I'm assuming daily, like beardies?

Thanks for any help, pics are coming soon.

Im guessing you mean the Sheltopusiks?
Ophisaurus apodus

I kept them at room temp with a small heat pad on low kept on for 12 hours, with a substrate of cypress mulch.
You can feed them pinks, mealworms, crickets.

I also misted them a few times a week and kept the water filled and fresh almost everyday.

I didn't keep them for very long, but the time I did have them, they were pretty easy going.

I know how to care for them, I just need to know how often to feed them. :P

oh duh... lol

I did pinks once a week, mealworms every few days , and put in crickets once a week.

He's a pretty big one Telefrag...wouldn't he need to eat more often? Or just more at a sitting?

I put in about a dozen crickets today. He ate all of them and promptly buried himself in his substrate. If I put my head under the tank, I can see his belly. hehehehehe!

Anyhow... I offered him a mouse pink earlier, but he gave me the proverbial finger. So I went and bought him crickets. *is a pushover, I know* :P

He's super sweet. He's really scared though, so I put a blanket over half his cage so he could feel secure.

So far, so good.
