IMO breeders and hobbyists should focus more on the length of the geckos, not only their weight. Unfortunately, too many geckos are overweight, which can be deceiving when trying to visualize their size. I bought a gecko from a reputable breeder that weighed 49 grams. When I received it, I was surprised by its length of over 10." A very healthy and lanky gecko.

Most of my males are 65-70 grams but I have a giant probably around 90 too crazy to get on my scale

Exactly the reason I was asking about average weights and lengths.

I'm asking because I have a male that is not yet a year old and he is big. He is at least 9.5 inches long. At last weigh in (Jan. 3) he was 86 grams in weight. I don't know his exact hatch date, but on October 12 when I began weighing him he was just under 7 inches long and was 34 grams. So I'm thinking he cannot be a year old yet. But he's so big. I'm wondering how big to expect him to get...
