My radiata have down nothin but calm down more and more as I've had them. They were complete spaz's when they were hatchlings. So be patient. Also, if the snake feels like biting is getting it somewhere, it will continue to do it.
As far as blues and radiateds comparing in size, the blue should be much bigger. Average HATCHLING size for Blues is 15 inches. I had an average last season of nearly 20" out of egg. This year I had a larger clutch, but smaller eggs and an average just over 15". I've never had a hatchling under 15" out of egg. And most are nearly 24" within the first month or two.
I haven't gotten a chance to breed my radiateds yet, as I'm still looking for the "perfect" male for my two girlies. But they were over a month old when I purchased them and probably just around 12 inches in length. I've seen juvi's that must have been 10 inches or less.
But good luck and keep us up to date as to how things are going? By the way, is your little one just a normal or an albino. I didn't catch any earlier talks...
