So my dragons body is around 8" not including the tail. I've been feeding him 3/8 dubias and they seem way too small based on the amount he eats ( he will devour at least 10 and look for more) with a small salad. I was wondering if I should go to 1/2" or 5/8". I know to go by the space between their eyes but to me that seems relatively small. he needs more so im going to order some tonight

i feed him morning and night, around 630 am and 6 at night, 10 or so 3/8 each time. Hes costing me more in food than my 80lb black lab...

As long as the width of the dubia isn't bigger than the space between the dragons eyes, it should be good. Just keep an eye on your dragon while he's eating to make sure he can chew and swallow them.
