Everyone that has responed so far has already hit at least one point that I would've made so I won't rehash anything. What I WILL say, though, is that you need to pull your head out of a certain orifice and listen to what these people are telling you. You came to this board for advice. Advice has been offered. Do with it what you will but, under NO circumstances, mistake or dismiss PROPER husbandry techniques as "fanatical". Regardless of the origination of the animal be it CB, WC, "farm rasied" or alien evolution, one simply cannot assume that since an animal with SPECIFIC care requirements was hatched/kept outside of it's natural habitat that the care requirements can be altered.

Feel free to continue to research your animals. I would HIGHLY suggest that you take at LEAST one of your igs (I wouldn't be so naive as to hope for all four) to a qualified herp vet for a full checkup/fecal exam. If everything looks alright, feel free to post the findings and I will be more than happy to retract my statements.

As far as their size, what are you feeding for diet? What are you using for a UV source? What are you using for heat and humidity?
