Age?

I am curious, is there a way to figure out how old a baby is? Baby is about 4" long. How long/big do they have to be before you can sex them?

Thanks!

4"? Maybe a couple of weeks old, I would think. I was always able to sex my babies by just a few months old, about 5-6" long.

id have to say it would be 3 to 5 weeks old it all depends hwo big they hatch out most of my baby's hatch out at about 4 inches but the average size is 3 and a half so i would have to say anywhere from 3 to 5 weeks .

thanks a lot! I guess I will be on the safe side and say its about 3 weeks then, so that way i don't make it older than it might be. Is there anything special I should know about a baby of this age?

It seems to have eaten last night because I put 3 small crickets in there and I only found one this morning.

Is it true a 20Gal long tank will stress Baby out at this age?

Any recommendations or links would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks again!
