I have a year-old male tangerine honduran who's currently taking a good-sized F/T hopper once a week. He's growing like a weed, and is currently 30". I'm not sure of his weight in grams, as I don't have a scale, but he's certainly not obese.

My question is: At what age should I start to decrease the frequency at which I feed him?

Here's Magma! Thanks!

squeeker, i have 1 tir-color and 2 tangerines a male and a female.my tri came from Calf. he is now about 40 inches,got him in March at 18 inches he eats only large adult mice. my 2 tangerines I got in June are about 18 inches, my female now eats adult mice, but my male eats sub-adult, both now are about 30 inches now. I feed all 3 of them every 7 to 10 day they are not obese. hell my female looks just a gorious as yours,my male is a little thinner.Now every now and then I will throw in a extra mouse to my tri-color,just as he finish eating his first mouse.Man they do love to eat.Now my problem is hibernation.

Thanks, Alligatorman!

I'm going to finish up the 4 or 5 hoppers still in the freezer, and then move him to adults.

Glad to know I'm on the right track!
