These little guys are about 8 and 9 months old and came from our own herd of kids grown up. They will have a care sheet with them. At maturity the should be around 14 to 18 inches long and about 8 inches wide. Land animals so no water mess. Eat just about anything. Have never known one to bite and ours have been to lots of grade school classrooms which has got to be the ultimate test. They are people friendly and actually seem to be glad to see you. A hardy animal they like a juicy tomato just about more than anything. I have some pics of them when they were just 2 months and some of the parents.
