Hes going thru relocation stress but he should be eating around 10-15 appropriate size roaches- have you tried BSFL on top of the salads? His main diet is protein now so salads should be offered to get him used to them as he will eventually end up w/ insects only 2-3 times per week when he turns a yr old - the surface basking temps and UVB must be spot on to get him adjusted to his tank and surroundings - surface basking temps need to be taken w/ a digital probe thermometer 105-110 and UVB a long tube fixture example Zoo Med - Arcadia Pro T 5 12% bulb 24 watt or a Sunblaster Nano Tech w/ a Reptisun 10.0 T 5 bulb

1 per day is light. I'd feed him as much as he'll eat in a 5-10 min time then remove the rest
