my inch and half guy downs a nightcrawler just fine. If your worried cut it in half...they can still live cut in half so save it for another feeding. I try to pick out the shorter ones for the smaller pacman. My albino can eat two or three nightcrawlers now. You want to mix the variety of all foods given because this gives them the added nutrition they need. So I don't do nightcrawlers daily...i mix it up with crickets, frozen pinkies, waxworms...etc.
