I was just curious, how many years is a sulcata considered a hatchling? A year or 2? Dobby will be 3 in April, is that still a hatchling?

Know, yours is no longer considered a hatchling.
I would say 3 is a yearling or juvenile.
Okay, thanks!! 
Here is my way of categorizing them:
Hatchling means they still have an egg tooth.
From loss of egg tooth to one year is a baby.
From one year to two is a yearling.
From two years to adulthood would be a juvenile.
Once they hit breeding size, I call them and adult. 14" for males, 17" for females.
