I am a newbie in the world of Leopard Geckos, and I purchased a leo. from petco. Of cousre they could not tell me when it was hatched or where it came from. So I am looking to find out approx how old it is based on weight and size and If some could help me identify the color characteristics of this new guy.

Pictures can be found at http://geckos.lvws.com

I weighted him in a 5 grams and measured snout to vent @ about 2.5 in. Overall length is 4 inches.

Any help on identifing age and color grouping, would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You.

Very young ( just about a hatchling) patternless. Not sure on the variety, might be able to tell with time. Have fun with it, it looks pretty nice.

Yup, that's a very young paternless. 5 grams would put him about a month old, give or take. Looks nice and healthy, let's hope your petco find stays that way!
