I see them at Petco but guarantee they are WC and mite infested. I would not say they are easy. They are skittish and hard to level out. Once you acclimate it it will get easier. But often they die first. My experience is limited. They are gorgeous but don't do anything for me otherwise. I have had a couple over the years. I think bigger ones did better than babies. But that may just be me.
Yes, they eat crix and soft bodied bugs.

No idea where to get 'good' ones. Ask around more. Some few folks have better info.
If you are looking for a bug/worm eater a garter might be hardier for you. Just a thought.
