can anybody give me an idea of how old my cresties are by their weight?i know weight varies but maybe a guess. i've had them for about 2 months and just finally aquired a scale... one is 7.5g and the other is 6g. the place i got them from had no idea of their age/

when they are younger/smaller most of mine seem to grow about a gram per month or less for the first few months. mine always hatch at 1.6 grams. so five months is usually between 5-6 grams, and at 6 months it should be 7-8.
after they get above 10 grams you should expect them to grow between 1-3 grams per month.
i had a gecko got on vacation this summer in august, and she was just under 9 grams at the time. she is at 18 grams now so they can grow pretty quickly at certain times.
sooo, to make it simple, i would guess 5-7 months old.

now what age or weight would you say they can be acuratley sexed at?b.t.w. thanks 4 the help!!!

i'm almost 100% set between 15-18 grams for females, and males can technically drop between 10-20 grams. i've never had one take that long so for the animals i've got, i'd say 12-18 grams
