Okay, when I came home from school, I went to check on are sulcata and CDT and MDT, when I checked on the big guy after the little guys, I found him earing a poor pray mantis, the day before, he ate a slug too. Is he suppost to eat bugs? Is it natural or should I watch out for that and maybe stop him from doing it?
Leo's eating bugs.

hmmm some have been seen hunting... what do you feed on a regular basis?
Eating a bug here and there is perfectly fine as long its not part of his staple diet. 
The bugs aren't part of his diet. And seeing as he's 32 inches, 120 pounds, he gets one head of romian(As a filler) 2 tomatoes, 2 carrots, 1 apple and a red bell pepper.
Don't forget the Hay too Ashe
If that's what you feed him normally, I think you need to change up his diet and make it better. More greens, weeds, cactus, grass, hays, mulberry, hibiscus, some mazuri etc, etc. less veggies and romaine. Of course, I am assuming Leo is a sulcata?
Does he get some natural foods such as grasses, weeds, cactus, flowers? I wouldn't worry about him finding a bug and eating one here and there, as they are in the natural environment as well. However in general, it's not a food item that you would feed to them
Oh lord no that is not all he eats lol cactus by the pound, grazes all day long on grasses/weeds etc etc
don't worry tort friends, he eats better and more then I do lol
don't worry tort friends, he eats better and more then I do lol

Not sure who you are responding too. My post was for the OP, AshleighB. I'm confused. Are you too together, and that's why you posted "don't forget the hay" and also your last post? I easily confused you know. You shouldn't do that

Dude seriously right? I had to get another fridge in the garage strictly for "animal" stuff and we buy things by the case to supplement them all.
Mind you we have chickens, sheep, goats, torts, turtles, etc, etc but I mean really, come on now, another fridge?
Everytime I think about it I say WOW
And where do I put the beer? LOL
