:That is a bit small. At that age my hatchlings are 25-30 grams. What are you feeding them? They should be on a staple of insects with fruit only offered on occasion. More fruit results in poor growth rates.
:-Mike
They have insects every day(crickets,silkworms and waxworms)with fruit twice a week and have just started on the complete diet to elininate the fruit.s/v is apprx 8cm with total 14cm lenth.Do you feed all they can eat?I feed about 5-6 thrid instar crickets overnight and two wax worms once aweek.
