About 1.25". They'll be molting soon, though. About 5 of their siblings just molted last week.

I keep mine in 50 dram vials until they're about 2.5".

50 drams is a little over 3oz. I tend to keep my Ts in smaller enclosures, but that's just my preference.

Ohh ill use the pint sized enclosures. thaks again

50 dram is 6.25 fluid ounces. Should be perfect for them with growing room until they are at 2 inches.
