I'm gonna tackle only the specks for you, as that is what I mostly work with from your list. I have 11 hatchlings from this year and all were quite small. I will tell you this, while their size may be small, they can and should be on fuzzies way before your mark. They don't get as big as the floridanas, but have the capability to grow remarkably fast in the first stage. All my hatchlings are on fuzzies now and have been for two months, one clutch hatched in July and the other in August. I really don't push them after the first several feedings, but I try to get them off of pinkies as quick as they can, and they can tackle a fuzzy after about 6 or 7 pinkies, all fed in about 3 weeks time. This is what I do, some don't, but they should get off the pinkies as quick as you let them. I know they are tiny and it doesn't seem right, but I have never had a speck regurge, they just retire to that place they have and digest, just be sure you have a warm enough place for them to do so and a cool enough place when they don't need to be warm. Hope this helps. I feed live so I don't know how many frozen rodents you need to order, but trying to feed every 4 days or so is working well for me.
