can anyone tell me how some people get their leopard geckos so big? i don't mean anyone i know but like at reptile shows and pet stores i've seen some pretty big leopard geckos but mine is a yr old and compared to these others she is small but not sickly small. i tried feeding her pinks and she ate one and never ate another. she won't touch them she only likes crix about every 3 days and occassionally she'll eat wax worms or meal worms. thanks snakeaddicted

how much does she weigh?

make sure she has lots of calcium and a florescent UVB bulb. Slow growth can be one of the first signs of MBD. My first leo was diagnosed when she stopped growing around 1 yar old.

1.0 Pastel/Jungle Leopard gecko from JL (BJ)
0.4 Normal/Hi-Yellow Leopard gecko (Beatrice, Goldie, Freckles, Pepper)
0.1 SHCT Leopard Gecko (Brite)
0.1 TBD Leopard Gecko (Rainbow)
0.0.1 Tang Nearly Paternless (Peaches)
0.0.2 Corn Snakes (One snow, One red albino)

They do stop growing after a year or so. After that they just start to get fat

Also some leos nowa days are the "giant" morphs, imo aren't really a morph but just a bloody big gecko, just like they're BIG TALL kids
obviously not me i'm 5'2
