I bought my first a little over a month ago. A female that was about a month and a half old and weighed around 65g and maybe 15" long. She was pretty small but I had no reservations about getting a young one. I think the more time they have around you, the better, so i went with as young/small as I could find. That may not really make a difference, but I'm glad I got what I did and when I get my next one, I'll look for a young one then as well. Plus, I just think the young ones are pretty neat.![]()
