Hiya, stupid question but hey lol

My local pet shop said they have HATCHLINGS available, i asked how old they are and he said 6 mnths!!

How old can a HATCHLING be? Im very surprised that a 6mth old snake would still be classed as a HATCHLING?!

Can someone shed some light on this please?

what else would you call them, the next step up is yearlings, and as the name suggests they would be at least a year old for that, suppose you could call them 2010's

Maybe they still class them as hatchling as I think the next size up is yearlings. You could call them babies if you wanted to.

Edit: wow thoses posts weren't there when I was writing XD



A very special super, duper thanks for K :3

I call my butters the babies even tho they are a year old. It gets confusing cos I now call dangerous my baby as he is a young hatchling
