How fast do they grow? pics added

After looking at the before and after section of the forum I feel like my girl is super small still... She is should be just shy of a year and while she has grown alot she is by no means a big gecko. I have been meaning to purchase a scale but haven't yet so I cannot give how many grams she weighs. How many grams would be normal and how many inches? I feed her until she is full and then give her a few crickets to chase around if she wants. She is kind of a bum and doesn't move around much in her cage but enjoys exploring when ever I get her out. Just a little concerned if she is growing normally or not.

Pictures would help us let you know if she is ok. If you had a scale you can track weight gain or loss which comes in handy in times like this. Post up some pics.

From today. I am not a large woman so my hand is prolly about six inches long for size reference.

I think she looks fine personally, she doesnt need to have this HUGE tail that we see everywhere today, how much do you feed, what are the tank temps and specs and such? Shes pretty if it counts for anything. I think she looks long enough btw. Some geckos are just smaller then others, and some are freakishly huge.

I agree that she looks fine. The tail has some fat stores, the body doesn't look disproportionate or anything. Some just stay smaller than others. I have one female that is about the same length, but just a wee bit fatter.

Sorry hadnt been on in a while. Glad to know she looks normal. As far as temps its not gotten over 90 on her heat pad side. Havent checked the cool side but she wanders over there so it cant be too cold. I feed her as many as she will eat as i hand feed and she watches me walk across the room when she wants fed every other day or so.
