How Often Do You Weigh?

[Scott&Nikki]

How often do you weigh your leos? Once a week? I was planning on doing it once a week, but until she gets used to me handling her more, I am not sure I wanna stress her out that often.

I weigh my family once a week

I weight hatchlings once a week, and if I have time adults as well. If not adults get weighed every other week.

I try to do it as little as possible.. the winter pounds are killing me.

Just kidding! When I bred leos I tried to keep a bi monthly record of weight on everyone.

I just talked to my vet last night about this. In his opinion hatchlings should be weighed every other week, where as adults can be done once a month. He also said that it didn't really matter if you did it more often than that. But once a month would be his minimum.

I personally weigh mine every other week regardless of age. It's amazing how fast they grow!

I used to weigh mine once a week, Josh made fun of me lol . Anyways, now that we have like TONS of animals, we don't really do it regularly, just when we place ads, want to breed them or see how big hatchlings are getting.

About every 2 weeks.

I weigh mine once a week, but I don't have that many geckos, so that's pretty easy.

I have 14 adults and 32 hatchling/juvies and they get weighed every Wednesday.

I weigh mine once a month, unless one is sick and I am monitoring it's weight.

I weigh mine when I notice that there is either a visible increase (curious to see how much of a weight gain that there is) or a visible decrease that causes me some alarm
I also weigh them when I have them out for pics
I agree with as fast as young babies grow that a "weigh in" would be a good idea and that it makes for good record keeping and gives a general idea of weight gain rate to be expected at certain ages
