They've grown a good two inches since the video was taken.

I've found if you wait till they are hungry to feed them (mine beg like in the video) they will become tame much faster. I also tap on the glass before I feed them, it acts like a dinner bell after they associate food with the tapping. Feeding them live feeders makes them much less dependent on you and can undo any tameness brought about by the before mentioned feeding practices.
