Ideal weight?

tonebone Mar 14, 2005 11:07 AM

Just curious My albino leo is 6 1/4" long and weighs 34 grams. is he/she overweight?? or about right? Also is this big enough for me to tell the sex yet?

Sure that is large enough to tell sex.

For being 6 inches, 34g-45g is fine. do you know how old it is?

I can't find the reciept but I bought it right around the first week of november, at that time it was 3 1/2" to 4" so if that gives any idea as too the age. But thnak you both for the responses. My first leo was very unhealthy (underweight) and after multiple vet trips nothingcould be solved so I try to make sure with this one I am doing everything right.

I dont think there is such a thing as overweight, they dont seem unhealthy when they weigh a lot so I let my grow as much as possible, especially when theyre young. Geckos start becoming visibly sexable at around 20 grams so your gecko should show clear signs of a sex.
