Holy weight gain!

I bought several geckos from TUG in late Feb.
March 24th, my male RAPTOR weighed in at 23.6 grams.
I weighed him again today, and hes 45 grams!

My other geckos have been growing at normal rates, but none as rapid as him.

He hit puberty and had everything he wanted to eat. Always good to have them gain good weight.

I guess they just gain weight at different rates?
The other geckos I bought that were the same age are all much smaller.

 

[Enigmatic_Reptiles]

Yup, just like people and everything else.

I had some Tremper boys that gained 15+ grams a month. At 5 months old they were 75g!

Haha I know what you mean. My male eats mealworms and loves them, in a couple weeks he went from about 55g to 79g! At first I thought the scale was busted. But sure enough my female is still 50 grams after a couple more weigh ins, so I guess it's not broken... Kind of funny
