how fast do leos grow?

 

[MichaelJ]

depends on age, feeding, type, and morph.. but most start off fairly slow for the first two months and then really start growing quickly.. again depending on feeding, morph, and type.. they are usually full grown within a 1 to year 1 & 1\2.

Type and morph have nothing to do with it, unless it's in reference to giantism. Every gecko is different, agreed, but geckos grow like weeds the first two months of their life. They grow the most within the first 3-5 months.

Most of our hatchlings reach 40-50g in 3 months, and then 60-80g by one year. The first 3 months most of our geckos grow 10-20g per month. They typically grow 5ish grams each month there after until adulthood when they slow down some.

I hope this helps.

Can depend on several factors, how much its fed etc..

ok thanx

some argue that morph has nothing to do with but in my experience albinos seem to plateau around 35 grams and then when they hit 45 grow like crazy.. Especially Giants..

wow, 50 grams at 3 months of age? what am I missing here?

That's what I was thinking haha. My leo eats like crazy and is 32 grams just under 3 months.

 

[MichaelJ]

sounds like a giant.. i have a six month old that is 51 grams so thats a big eater..

 

[Scott&Nikki]

Michael, who's sounds like a giant?

 

[MichaelJ]

40-50g in 3 months is fast growth..

 

[Scott&Nikki]

Oh ok, gotcha.
