I have a non giant normal leo that weights 135 grams.
The amazing thing is, he is not obese!!
If you want I can post some pictures of him...

The reason why I was asking is cause my adult 2yr old male is 137 grams and is 10 inches long. I was courious to what the record weight is

u sure he's not giant? how long is he?

I'm positive mine is not a giant or super giant. He is just a normal morph that I guess got much larger then the average. He is right at the 10 inch mark. Here is a pic of him about 2 months ago when he was 130 grams

their morph has nothing to do with if they are giant or not, there are normal giants and there are giants that are like 500$ taht are like a mix of a million different things. at ten inches i am guessing its a giant. giants are 10-12 normally and regulars are usually never over 8 inches. do you know for sure what both parents were? if not theres no way to be sure it's not a giant.

I have both mother and father here with me. I bred them 2yrs ago and only kept one leo after they were hatched and gave away the others to friends ect...The mother is right at the 8 inch mark and is 72 grams and the father is 9 inches long and 89 grams. Thats whats really strange cause I know both parents and he just grew alot longer and heavier then any other non giant gecko I have ever heard of.

I forgot to say that I know 2 of the other leo owners that were hatched with mine and one is a female and the other is a male and neither of them are over 9 inches long or over 90 grams. Just the one I have is...LOL

weird. since leos genetics are well documented we can see that some traits are random, thats how new morphs are created. from normal parents all the leopard geckos we know of were created, so your "giant" would have just occured randomly. either way, thats a big gecko.
