I've had Kalypso for 1 year and 2 months now.

I just got a scale today and she weighs 70 grams.

She's full grown, my best guess is that she's at least 3 years old. I got her from a petstore.

Is 70 grams enough for a full grown leo gecko?

I feed her properly, mealworms (gut loaded) and crickets (she's eating them again!).

I'm just wondering if she's fat/heavy enough.

Here is a pic of her:

-----
2 mali uro's-Ares and Apollo
2 saharan uro's-Orion and Iris
2 bearded dragon-Hades and Draco
1 leo gecko-Kalypso
1 tokaye gecko-Sid Vicious
1 tarantula-Peter Parker
1 dog-cheeka
1 zebra finch-beeps
1 african gray parrot-keya
1 red headed parrot-pancho
And some fish

Sounds about right. How long is she?? My tang female is nine inches long and she weighs about ninety grams.

OK, let us know. As long as she has a fat tail and looks happy I wouldn't worry.

I'll let you know when I measure her.

I got up earlier then planned this morning. It seems that Cheeka decided to have a seizure in my bed. So I had to pick her up and run her down the stairs and put her outside so she wouldn't do any # 1, 2 or 3's inside.

I just finished measuring her, I thought she'd sit still, but noooooooooo. She wanted to run around on my bed.

She was almost straight when I measured her. She measured from the 8 1/2 - 9 inches. If she was all the way striaght and I had help it would be more accurate.

I'm going to get cricketts when I go into town so she'll be eating plenty tonight.

Only it'll take awhile since I have to pop the cricketts butts open.

She won't eat them. One day last week I was tweezing one to hold out near her hoping she'd see it and go for it and the butt popped open and she licked its guts and decided that it must taste good so she ate it.

I just want her to eat them that's all. Sometimes she gives up on cricketts, like a phase a child would go through. But she always eats her worms.
