While I doubt you can hope to have a standard across all sellers, I personally only sell a baby when it has eaten at least 3 times. (And had the first shed).
Most of the time my babys have shed a couple times, and eaten several regular meals before they are sold. But if a responsible person wanted to buy one earlier(say I had something real hot they wanted badly, HA!) then I might sell it to them, but only if I thought they were experianced enough to deal with a new hatchling.
Most breeders I've talked to tend to sell a baby after first shed and fed at least a few times. But I will consider that the BUYER is responsible for knowing what they are buying and how to care for it. I prefer to see babys sold ready to go to a new home, and eat regularly.
