Growth Rate?

[Arconna]

I just noticed last night that one of my baby leo's has practically doubled in size. I was amazed. I hadn't done anything with him all week, etc. cleaning, but I really wasn't paying attention to him specifically. Then I did my weekend deep clean and feed Sunday and almost got confused about which gecko he was cause he had grown so much.

How quick do babies grow to sub-adult size? Is there maybe a growth rate chart some place, or maybe someone kept one of their own for curiosities sake...

Thanks!

growth rate

im sure growth rate depends an alot of things but i when i did keep track i found and average of 6 to 8 grams per month. that was feeding gutloaded mealworms only and keeping the babies 1 per cage. hope that helps some. Kirk

Well, was sort of looking for like length, girth, that sort of thing, but that does give me a perspective on growth for these guys. It was just very strange to go in and see this little leo so much bigger than I was used to. It's like he grew overnight or something.

I have found the same things with some babies-they take of like a rocket and seem to almost double in size overnight
LOL
