[QUOTE="jackys, post: 122336, member: 26341"] I just go by abdomen size (1:1 ratio with carapace = probably a healthy size), as I've heard mixed advice on this myself. I've heard both that most T's will stop eating when they're full, and that they can take their "opportunistic eater" instincts to becoming obese. But your T is still pretty small at just an inch, so the more you feed might just make it grow faster... Whether that's good or bad is another story. Hoping someone with more experience chimes in to give you a better answer. [/QUOTE]
