Does anyone know the average weight of cresties? I got a baby in May and finally was able to get a weight tonight on it and it's 3 grams. Is that right? It has small calcium sacs in the back of it's mouth and I feed it CGD daily. It has gotten bigger from when I received it and is very active. I only handle it once a week when I clean the tank out. I mist every day. I just want to make sure that this is ok or if I need to supplement. Thanks

My impression is that cresties weigh less per inch than leos. I have an adult that's at least as long as my leos counting the tail and is only 45 gr. I've been told that's a great weight for an adult crestie. I don't think I weighed it when it was tiny.

I have a few babies that hatched in June that finally started looking bigger so I got excited and weighed them....4 grams. LOL They're just so much lighter for their body size then leos.
