100 gram mark

[Ross85]

Hi,

Just thought I would show some pics of my gecko. I just weighted him and he is 100 grams and just over 10 inches. He seems to still be growing. I have had him for about 5 months, so he is probably 6-7 months old. I know these pics aren't great, but I will try to put some better ones up when my camera is charged. He is one of the best pets I have owned. Thanks for looking.

Back when I got him:

when that start to get bigger like this, is a 10 gallon still big enough? I don't want him to be cramped in there.

That's awesome, he's huge! A ten gallon is fine, but a 20 gallon long wouldn't hurt either

What a guy - what a growth spurt!

Thanks! He did slow down eating for a while about a month ago, but now he is eating like crazy and growing pretty fast again. Not sure why.

Nice big gecko.

Cool gecko! Maybe a Super Giant Patternless???

Very nice!

Very nice big guy, he looks very healthy. Where did you get him at? Just curious because I got my little female patternless from a pet chain and she has already caught up to my 3+ month old hatchling and she's only 2 months.

He may have slowed down eating due to the weather change. I know my group did for about a week, then resumed once the house's heat was regulated.

As far as a tank, for a big guy like that (who probably isn't through growing quite yet) I would go with a 20 gallon, but that is my personal opinion, it's up to you You can usually find them on craigslist for fairly cheap, at least in my experience.

I also got him one of the big chain pet stores. I picked him because he was twice as big as all of the other geckos and looked very healthy. I was told by people on here that he is a murphys patternless, which would not make him a real "giant," but he does have the size. I'm going to start looking for a 20 gallon. The only reason I have been reluctant to change is because he is so used to this cage and I have it set up good for him with temps and stuff. I'm pretty sure it was the weather change that made him stop eating. It was about a week or two and now he is back on schedule.

Now that's the kind of leo I'd like! What is he? A super giant?

From what I have been told he is a Murphy's Patternless. I think he is just a big gecko. I hope he gets bigger!

Just beautiful, and seems to have a nice temperament too!
Thanks for sharing.

I agree, about a 20 gallon being even better, mine isnt a giant but when i moved her to a 20 gallon she seemed to like it a lot more.
