Do you think she is a giant? to is twice the size as the others. and will she breed with a normal size male?

She's cute. She looks like a normal size female - many of my regular-sized leos are that size.

And yes, she will breed with a smaller male. Just make sure they're old enough.

she has laid 6 eggs so far and we had a really hard time getting the incubator but finally got it right and juan hatched 3weeks ago.

another picture of her. She is longer than a dollar bill. our blizzard we have had the same amount of time and she is alot bigger then her. I think lea is a little over weight, just comparing her to the other is is huge. lol

sorry about that.

LOL...yeah, I have a hypo CT female that's a total fatty too. I swear, I could feed her next to nothing and she'd still maintain her nice "love handles"!! But of course, Lea's adorable - not too fat!!

She's just a big healthy girl. It looks like Juan will be a nice little hypo too -- he's already a nice weight. But not a giant. You should see the giant hatchlings when they pop out of the egg - so lanky and awkwardly gangly, lol!! Its funny.

Cute pics.

She just looks large to me, it happens. i have a 115 gram male who is definately larger than your average leo, but not a giant. i believe giant has more to do with genetics than it does with just the actual size.

Good luck with her and the babies!
