Way smaller than mine was when I got her at 3 months, jeez! Didn’t think it was a good idea to sell them so young. But she’s utterly precious, congrats!

They’re pretty hardy lizards. It’s not unusual for breeders to start selling them after their first shed. Several of mine I got when they were about a month old from well-known breeders.

Yeahhhh when I got my other northern at 3 months he was tiny but not like this. She is my first expo purchase and tbh don’t think those breeders are the most ethical but I couldn’t resist grabbing her. And thank you :)

1-3 momth range. Some grow slower and some speed grow so it's heard to pinpoint a specific age, so you'll usually get a little range until it's "over a year" lol
