I just wanted to ask for those with experience with babies/juveniles how much it's different from sub-adults. When we got ours, he was like 6 months old and pretty easy to handle.

We already know they require move bugs than greens at that age but not much else. Does anyone know of a good guide to differences in care/behavior?

The care is basicly the same, just make sure you have good uvb and the correct basking temps (babies need 105 to 110). The feeding is the same all the way till they are adult. They tend to be more jumpy and skiddish as hatchlings, so keep that in mind when handling them. Have patience with babies, every single thing is new to them and we are big scary giants to them, it takes them a little while to become comfortable and confident. I have raised 3 from hatchlings it is quite rewarding.
