Adults I feed every 2 weeks. If they don't eat I'll pull the prey item out and try again in a couple days. After they refuse 2 or 3 times and they appear fat...ill assume their in premolt. Except a few adult species that are known to fast long periods at a time. I'll try every couple weeks to see if they will eat. Always make sure the water dish is full. Heaters aren't necessary. Room temperature is good for most T's 68°-74° is fine. If your any colder then that a space heater to heat the room or area is the safest. No heat pads! Remember most desert T's hunt at night when the temperatures plummet.</p></blockquote><p></p>
