Again, thank you all for your help

Would you recommend hook training a Dumerils? It seems a lot of people do, though maybe I'm wrong. Any suggestions or tips for what age (I know they are slow growing) to get? I kind of want an older one (maybe a yearling or two) because of size and all, but then again, I think I might want to go with a baby just so I can watch it grow (slowly)
What are your guys' thoughts?
