Does anyone have a picture of an Eastern Hermanns in your hand or next to something that shows size at 2-3 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months? These are the ages offered by the breeders I'm looking into and I'm brand new to this. I'm trying to get an idea of what to expect in the beginning.

This is my Eastern Hermann’s at 3 months. Keep in mind that I have very small hands. I personally would not get any younger than 3 months. They’re so tiny and fragile.

Thank you! We ended up going with the 6 week old and he's doing great!

That’s great! I’d love to see a picture of your little cutie 🥰. They’re so precious when they’re tiny. I told my little guy to never grow up, but he didn’t listen. Now he’s 4 years old and 7 inches long.

I couldn't get over his cuteness so I made him an Instagram page and tiktok account with lots of pics and videos. Haha! I don't even have accounts for myself! 🤣 My children and nieces/nephews love reptiles of all kinds and are having a great time watching him.
On both accounts he's called Sherman.the.Hermanns
