It is a hatchling. Got it a few weeks ago. It is doing amazing so far. It comes out of its hide and sits where the cage opens to get fed. It will crawl on my hand and chill but it doesn't like fast movement or fingers. It is not scard and jumpy though, it pretty much stands its ground when I change the water and stuff. I do think its funny though when the day light cycle turns on he is out and right at the entrance waiting for me to feed him. I may need to change something though because he mistakes fingers for pinky mice real real easy. It managed to bite me a few times thinking my finger was food. I was trying the feed and then pet him while hes feeding but he jumps like 2 feet grabs the mouse and then runs back in the cage lol. I actually have a video of him jumping from inside the cage all the way in the air outside the cage to my computer chair ripping a pinky outta the pair of tongs I feed him with. I think some of it has to do with his cage being right next to my computer desk and i work from my computer at home so it sees me about 10 hours a day straight. This is prolly why it is so used to me already after only a few weeks. If i left the cage open I am pretty sure it would come out and climb on me until I fed him.
