I think they are about the size of a nickel/quarter. Also they are usually skinny, And I think they usually look sortof weak, At least the ones at PetCo do. But then again, I dont trust PetCo with the care of there animals, Ive heard some very sick storys about them.

Newly hatched leos are just a smidge over 3" long from nose to the tip of the tail.

Here is a picture of my recent hatchling, 2-3 days old at the time of the picture, IIRC.

Also, if anyone remembers my posting before about a baby gecko problems, that's the one, and she/he is doing great now. (Thanks Xelda)
