female leopard gecko, how big?

[vinnie-gecko]

i have a female super hypo leopard gecko who will be 1 in july. just wondering how big she should be now. i had her out the other day and she is about 8" and weighs 49 grams

Its really hard to give an exact number as temperature, nutrition and genetics play a huge part in how fast a leopard gecko grows and how big it will eventually be. The size and weight you say sounds like she's a healthy weight for her size and age. A picture would help people know better if she's under or over weight. I would keep feeding her how you are and let her grow at her own pace. In another year or two you'll have the answer to your question

she usually eats around 10 crickets a night.

She looks perfect to me. And seems to be a good size for a female I think. My male is huge.....

She looks like she has the perfect sized tail. I have found with leopard geckos that each gecko is different. I have a few geckos that reached 50+ grams several months before my other geckos of the same age.

Sounds about right. Most of my May-July geckos including the ones I've produced anda few I've bought, are in the 40 gram range.

Those are all interesting weights you guys have posted.
I have two females both aged approx 5 months, and one is 52g and the other is 60g.
