Should I start transitioning feeding?

[Mattie V]

Hello, my boy Zeke we guess to be about 9 months old. He was about 6 inches when we hot him and is now 21 inches. He hasn't shed in last couple months besides his head. I'm assuming he's slowing down. Is this the time to start transitioning to more veggies and less bugs? I'm a little worried he's on the overweight side now as he's still eating dubias. BSFL twice a day. He does eat salad too. I posted some photos. Please if anyone has tips on how to transition his feeding! These are photos of him AFTER pooping. I'm waiting on a scale so I'm not sure his exact weight yet. Thanks!

Please feed him salads every day - bugs will be cut down about 1 yr old - they should be fed 2-3 times per week then

He eats salads everyday. He's not shedding on his body anymore. He poops a few times per week. He's king of lazy now. He looks okay as far as weight?

Weigh him on a kitchen food scale - weigh in grams-- he looks good

Okay I finally got my scale! He weighs 551g. That's after pooping this morning. Should he be on a 50/50 diet yet? I thought he's looking a little overweight. He's still not shedding. He's eating great but wanting more bugs...I cut it down. Plus we gave him out daily now to exercise. What is the danger zone as far as weight? I read he should be no more then 500g? Thanks!

Hes hefty ---- feed more salads and cut back on the treat worms if your feeding them -- exercise is good!

Okay, thanks! He gets his salads in the morning first thing then i give new in the afternoon. I feed him bsfl and dubias twice daily but am thinking maybe once a day and alternate? I'm cutting back on those now. He does well with eating greens, so that's a plus. He was getting superworms occasionally and hotnworms occasionally. I have stopped both hornworms and superworms for now
