Going to go with TRD here, you do not want to feed them as much as they will eat! Just because they eat, and seem to be acting hungry, doesn't mean they are hungry. They are just opportunistic, because in the wild, meals are few and far between. In the wild, a period of feast would be followed by a period of famine, in captivity that feast is often never-ending...leading to obesity, and in the case of GTPs, prolaspes, injured skeletons, and hanging tails from too heavy of feces.
