he/she says they are like a year old at least, but they are still tiny

dont know how that happens....i got my three when they were tiny babies, only the size of a quarter but they grew outrageously fast. my largest is at least 7in long and mine are only about 1.5 years old.

If you need any help with them when you get them, let me know. They definitely should not be THAT small at that age.

she says she doesnt really have time to feed them, she feeds them about 12 feeder fish and crickets, not sure how often though. i hope they are relatively healthy

my 3 that i have right now have been so easy on us, no probs at all.

NO time to feed them?? They're easy to feed, it just takes like 1 minute a day to feed them, just throw in the appropriate amount of food in there for them, such as ReptoMin food sticks! Ugh. Laaazzy, I say.

Feeder fish and crickets aren't enough for them.

They most likely aren't getting enough calcium either... so be cautious if their shells are still kinda soft.

Good UVB/UVA, heat, a nice dry basking spot and good food will do them A LOT of good...
