You are raising a pet so you want him to be happy and healthy and live a long life.

In that case, less is more when it comes to food.

A lot of caring for reptiles is an art, not a science, please keep that in mind. Yes, temps and humidity should be correct, but some people say 87F hot side and some say 89F. Is one right or wrong? NO. As long as the animal is doing well. Some people feed smaller meals more often and others larger meals less often, etc.

If I were you, I'd be feeding appropriate sized meals every 7 days for now. I also would only weigh your BP when he's empty - having done number 2. Also, same to scale to same scale. If the breeder said 100G I wouldn't take that verbatim on your scale.
Yeah I think I will stay at the lower end of the feeding guidelines for now and increase if he seems like he needs it.
So if people say 10-15% of body weight I will stick to around 10 for now and see how it goes.
He seemed very hungry the last few weeks. Prowling the enclosure every night and going in and out of his hides so I felt the urge to feed more but I will ge over it.
Since he's in shed now he hasn't moved much this week.
