Default Feeding times for Leos

This may sound like a daft question but is there a specific time that is best for feeding leos? My aim is to include a bowl of worms and then add one or two crickets per leo each day. Would the addition of crickets be best at any specific time of the day?

Feeding time is best after dark, when they are active, specially if giving crickets that can move around, better to have them there as little as possible, I would recommend at about 7 - 8pm!! (after the sun sets in your city)

^ Exactly what Saskia said. Just around dusk is best. That's when they naturally start to wake up and are the most active.

I agree.

I feed mine abit later, around 9pm. Or earlier depending when he comes out from his hides looking for food.

I rarely feed mine during the day as they are nocturnal creatures. So if you want to feed and start up a schedule i guess, do it during night. For me I turn off all my lights at 8pm and back on at 8am for my 12-12 cycle. So when the lights go out, probably 30 -60 minutes after that, I will feed.
