Much longer than that - they have iron clad stomachs. I took one out when it started to swell - it grossed me out, but I know they've been in there for hours before. I'm sure they're getting "unfresh" items here and there as they scavenge around in their natural environments. I probably don't go much longer than a half a day, but that's just me.

Guys at the reptile store told me to leave it overnight.....but I can't do it.
