How old is Bling?

[Bling_my_leo]

Hey,

I was lookin’ through some old threads when I found a post that I made. I saw the date on the side. I had told my friend that I’d just gotten a leo. Lucky me for finding that thread. Woo! I got Bling on 10/12/07. He was around three weeks old then. So how old is he now?

Thanks.....

ummmm that would make him 7 1/2 - 8 months old....

That's it? I though he was like a year? Wow, that's a set back. I though he was so much older......

if Bling was 3 weeks old, or lets just say 1 month (4 weeks) when you got him... his hatch day could be around 9.12.07 ... meaning, around that time this year, 9.12.08 he will be 1 year old.

Hope that helps.

Leopard Geckos are sexually mature around 5-8 months old. Thats why its good to judge by weight. Most breed at 50 + grams and some breed at 45+ grams.

Yea. I plan not to brred Bling. Just keep him as a pet. We don't have the time or money to breed. Not to metion the space. Cluttered much!

Bling is maybe 30 ish grams. Under weight. I will be getting some wax worms soon, that'll bring him up to weight.

Thanks everyone....

I suggest you dont get waxworms, but feed him a regular diet of mealworms and crickets properly gutloaded. If that is what he is eating now, continue. Waxworms arent the solution to all the problems leopard geckos go through. Yes they can ehlp gain wait, but they are quite unhealthy. They are very fatty and addicitve. If given, some geckos may become addicited and go off their regular diet.
