Coincidence? Normals.......why are they always so huge?

ZeR0 Aug 20, 2003 03:01 PM

I always see people posting pics of their huge normals, never any other morph, its always normals that are huge. Is this just a coincidence? I went to a reptile show a couple months back and a guy had a normal that was 98 grams at 10 months i think it was, not even a year old. I know josh has a huge normal, I think like 120 grams , and jilazee just posted a pic of hers at 110 grams. Why could this be? Just a strange thought,

all morphs have big specimens, there are just way more normals then anything else, so its more common.

It's just a random thing that can happen in all morphs, but since there are many many more normals than any other morph, there is a better chance for it to happen to them....

... all the blizzards, patternless or albinos came from either one single gecko that had its children bred back to it or at least from a single line. So those lines may have been average sized geckos. Normals have many different lines since they are commonly imported so there is more variety in those lines like with size.
