Hi all, id like to know when to sell my ball babies.

some people say after 2° shed, some says after 2 or 3 months.

some people start shopping for buyers before they even get eggs...
some as soon as they get eggs....
some as soon as they hatch....
as soon as they eat...
etc etc etc...

go with as soon as they eat start looking for buyers.....depending how stupid the person you sell to actually is......depends on how many meals you get in them before you sell them....also depends on your guarantee....

somne people's setup can screwup the best balls ....

good luck

Here is what I do. Once they shed at about 10 days old, I wait a day or two and then try to feed them. If they eat the first try, I will put them up for sale after three meals. If they eat three meals, they are ready for a new home.
