Left him alone yesterday, made sure temps & humidity were ideal.
Wanted him to get used to his new home. Of course he spent most of the day hiding in the substrate.

Got him out a little while ago for a soak leaving him in his enclosure, thought I would put a strawberry out (thanks to a member for the suggestion) in his food dish & a worm... well while soaking he saw the movement & went after the worm!
Took a few bites, dragging it back to the water, where the worm drowned. So we put another worm in the enclosure & he took a couple bites from it.

I know the little thing cannot have a very big stomach & we were ecstatic to see him finally eat, just wondering how much should he be eating?

Again, he / she is about 5-6 months old.

Here is a pic

The set up looks good and also good to hear he decided to eat something.

have you tried cutting the worm? more manageable I have 2 EBT one is 1" not growing but eating the other is 1.5 almost 2" and eats every other day as he hides a lot and I let him hide for a full day then dig him out. also try butter worms my guys love them.

Yes, we have tried cutting them up and whole, when they are cut up they don't wiggle as long ;)
He tends to watch awhile, then attack.... Lol
Seems to be doing great, and eats them either way.

We think he is pretty adorable too :)
