Well their temps are for basking, up to 110-120. Feed 3 times daily as many insects as they want for 15 minutes...Bath daily or every other day.... They most likely won't eat veggies right off....
Pretty much that is the difference.
Oh, Tom said to call him.. He has just the infant for you !

Basic care is the same as the bigger poopers only smaller. Smaller bugs ect ect.

Just wanted to add my 2 cents and spell some things out a bit. First, babies eat more than juveniles. They have a lot of growing to do. They can eat anywhere from 25 - 75 crickets daily. This is typically done 2-3 times per day.

All food should be no larger than the space between their eyes. That goes for crickets and salad. Most babies do not eat salads right away, but it should still be offered daily.

Basking temps should be around 105 - 110F. The cool side should not go below 85F. Night temps should not go below 65F.

Babies eat a lot, so therefore, they poop a lot. Papertowels or reptile carpet are recommended. It's easy to discard.

I recommend daily baths for babies. A good 20 minute soak helps them hydrate and helps with the shedding process.

And a side note that you will want to get a separate viv for the baby.
