Tape measure. I used to wake up the Blue hatchlings every night around 9-10pm to clean their cages. They were less active and learned that the big hand wasn't going to eat them. I know it's against the "rules" but it made it easier to handle them. I kept them on newspaper so I didn't have to dig them up, only remove the hide. Your mileage may vary. :roll:

Same here, mine was 15 inches last week. He eats like a truck. He gets better and better everyday about hanging out with me but he's still a bit restless at times. I'll put some pics up later.

yeah they are called hoppers because at that size the baby mice start moving around and it looks like they are hopping.

Oh thanks, I've fed rats to my reptiles for years but never heard them called that. Isn't it healthier to feed rats instead of mice. Here are some pics of Ting Ting.
He eats 2 pinky mice twice a week, usually half of a 1 inch ball of the turkey, beef liver and cod oil 2-3 times a week, a boiled egg once a week and roughly 25 3/4 crickets a week. His ambient temp is 77-80 and basking is 95-105, his humidity is roughly 50 percent and i can't get it higher no matter what i do but i mist him around 3 times a day and he has a water dish he can soak in whenever. Any suggestions appreciated. Here's my little fella.

Oh and how long do they eat crickets? They are a pain in the a**.
Mine is coming in about 17 1/2 inches.... she has done 3 full sheds already. Here is a pic of her just after three fuzzies..her first time having them.. she was alittle hungry.. she did not get fed yesterday.. full belly...its funny when she is basking under the MVB bulb in the tank you can see green on her like in the pic.. but when you take her out of the tank and in normal light you can see hardly any..lol

WOW! Mine ate his first fuzzy today, and I wasnt sure he would handle it. But he gobbled it down no problem! These are probably an inch and a half long, right between a fuzzy and a hopper.
You have damn near 2 inches on me! haha. Thats pretty amazing! It's insane how fast they grow!
The vid is right after he ate the fuzzy. He spent almost 4 hours crawling around outside the tank today since I have the weekends off. Great bonding time!
