You can try feeding him pinkie mice. Cat food often has too much fat. As far as handling, they can be quite skittish as babies. Just make sure that he is LIGHTLY restrained when you are holding him.

I would say hitting 12 inches would be more like a years growth.
Mine went from 4 inches to a little over six since I have had him. At this rate, he should hit the foot mark in about 10 to 12 months. He has gotten stockier but length wise, not as much of a change.

Maybe 3 - 4 months?
Hard to say without knowing what size it was when it hatched and how well it has been fed.

Large Flood lamps are a good way to give him the hot basking spot he needs. Describe the enclosure you have him in. Is it glass, wood or plastic? How large? Will the lamps be inside or hanging over it?
