Default Williamsi Babies

So i now have four hatchlings, the oldest one is now just over two months old and the youngest just a few days old.

At what age would it be ok to sell them? Any good way of sexing them? All of them being juveniles have the female colouration. I've noticed two of the smaller ones have more darker stripes on their necks than the larger one possibly indicating male? I've included a pic of the underside of biggest one.

Also i've contacted a few local lizard shops and they've asked me how much i want for them. What sort of price would be normal to ask or would it be more likely they will just chuck a few live food tubs my way?

IDK about pricing in the UK, but the cheapest I'm able to find CB juvies here (about 3-6 mos old, unsexed) is $50 US each here.

Juvenieles will likely fetch £40 -50 retail in the UK, be aware that most shops will give you less than half this price, have you considered selling them privately via one of the UK forum's?

Personally I would not let mine go any younger than 3 months plus, preferably older.

I was only thinking of asking like £10 each for them as i'm not trying to make any money out it. I quite enjoy watching the little guys grow up.

I've not really thought about advertising online, i know i won't want to courier them anywhere which is what most people will ask so will just stick to the reptile shops.

We have a lot of UK users right here on this forum. You might try running an ad for them in the classified section here.

I would advertise in the classified but my girlfriend and i work quite hectic jobs and i think it would be a pain to arrange for people to come and the local reptile shops are quite interested so easier to let them have them.

If you do not have the time to make sure all of the offspring make it to stable homes where the people may know what they are doing in all honesty you should pinch the eggs when they are laid.

The local pet stores are most probably not cleaning their tanks between animal transfers responsibly if at all.

The local pet stores more often than not give out wrong information regarding animal care.

I have a very hectic schedule as well as my husband, we have people come on Friday or Saturday some will even come on Sunday.
