i just bought a mature G rosea, and she has quite the appetite. She's eaten everything I've dropped in there, should I just let her eat or should I limit her. She's about 4 or 5 inches

What are you feeding her? My adult female eats a large dubia once every week or two until she randomly stops eating for months.

I would probably feed mine two or three crickets a week while she's taking it. Mine has gone on hunger strikes so make sure you take the crickets out if she doesn't eat them.

feed the slings abdomen sized prey as often as they'll eat it. they won't over eat. i feed my smallest ones 3 times a week, i've tried 4 but they usually ignore that 4th roach for a day or so then eat it. 3 times a week they eat every time.

large slings/juvies i feed twice a week, sub-adult/adult i feed once a week.
