I have a newly aquired 4" RTC. How do you often feed your baby RTC? I feed mine with beef heart and prawns.. I feed them everynight.. Am i over feeding them? Thanks!
 
Not at all... Young RTC's process their food FAST and may actually be able to be fed a couple of times a day... Personally I take a few things into account with mine, If he has a big belly and is hunting... no food, If he's hunting with his belly flat... I might allow him some sort of a treat... Other than that it's every day once a day and I will continue with that routine till he hits the 10-12 mark and I will change to spuratic days off from feedings, 12" every other day and make adjustments from there.

If you've over fed ... an RTC will throw up... not a good way to find out but I think almost everyone has been through it with theirs at some point... I'm still expecting to :ROFL:
