Hello. Yes, you take uneaten food out after 24 hours normally. As live food can cause some T's stress, plus as you find out sooner or later. Crickets can bite. . If you know your T & can see that it causes no issues, then sometimes it is worth leaving food in for longer. I have 3 T's I currently leave crickets in for 48 hours, as for some reason they tend not to bother eating if I don't. But we normally say remove any uneaten food after 24 hours & simply offer food in a weeks time.


Some T's eat every week, others can go many months between feeds.
