Hello everyone. I’ve been a keeper for about 4 years now and love it. But I have a question for anyone who would answer. It’s about feeding. And the question is should I feed them if the Abdomen looks full. Like my golden blue leg that I know I have feed two weeks

Heyllo,
So it depends. That's not a lot of info to go off from, but there's a whole section on feeding that's tagged you could def. Take a look, try searching in the search bar above, Best of luck

When one of mine looks fat I slow way down on feeding, offering a smaller size prey item as a maintenance meal, usually when I’ve forgotten the last time they’ve eaten. They’ll either go into premolt or take the food. When they’re big they won’t starve.

I reduce food size if I think a T is getting too large. But T's get a big chunk of their water intake from food. So I always offer food, even if it does get a little smaller at times.
