As with any feeding routine, matching quantity and feeder size to the individual animal is worth checking against a care sheet or with the in-store team, since appetite and feeder size needs vary considerably between species and between individual animals of the same species.
Care sheets are one of the most useful tools available to a reptile keeper, www.reptilecentre.com setting out the basics of temperature, humidity, diet and enclosure size for a given species in one place. Northampton Reptile Centre publishes care sheets covering species including the Hermann's tortoise, leopard gecko, corn snake and White's tree frog, and they're a sensible starting point for anyone researching a species or double-checking their current setup.
Sizing tiers are the other area worth understanding before buying. Ranges like VivExotic's are usually grouped by length and depth rather than by a single headline dimension, and the right tier depends on the adult size of the species rather than how it looks as a juvenile. Buying a vivarium sized for an adult from the outset, rather than upgrading later, tends to work out simpler and cheaper overall.
The main problem with sourcing components separately is compatibility. A heat mat bought from one retailer might not be sized correctly for a vivarium bought from another. A thermostat's probe might not reach the right spot in a taller enclosure. Lighting fittings vary in size and mounting style between manufacturers, and substrate depth requirements differ depending on which enclosure and species combination is being used. None of these mismatches are usually dangerous on their own, but taken together they add up to a setup that never quite works as intended, and working out where a problem sits when everything came from different places is much harder.
That said, there's a clear line between normal settling-in behaviour and something that needs attention. Prolonged refusal to eat beyond what's typical for the species, laboured breathing, unusual discharge, obvious injury, or any behaviour that seems more than ordinarily distressed are reasons to contact a vet experienced with reptiles straightaway, rather than waiting to see if it resolves on its own.
