HF, I really do not handle mine a lot. They are essentially still pretty much wild (adults) As far as feeding , all but one or two of mine will take small pinks,and one big female will even take rat pups! The babies can be difficult if you don't work with 'em a little. I have plenty of hatchling anoles when I need them for food. Anyone interested can ask and I'll send a "care sheet" I give to people who want one.

I think the more pertinent question is, how hard are the babies to feed? You've got to realize a hatchling will NOT be able to consume a whole rodent of the smallest form.

Can't be much worse than a newborn Pyg But experience with tiny reluctant feeders and difficult snakes are definately required for these guys.

Egg size

here's a pic to give you an idea of the size we're talking about. Very small, and the babies like to start out on hatchling anoles or ground skinks. You can use "parts" as well as they seem to use their sense of smell as a primary food locator.
