How Old?

[Scott&Nikki]

Well, I got the idea from curiousKathy's post. Can you guys gimme an idea of how old my leo was when I got it? It was just about 3 inches long and just under 3 grams.

It looks like it's only a 1 or 1 1/2 months, especially in the last picture.

probly 2 months or less, your not using sand for him are you?.

I got him off of sand a month ago. You really think its that old? I figured it would be younger because of how quickly he grew after I got him. And how does it stay under 3 grams for possibly 2 months?

I'd guess he was less than two weeks old when you got him if he was under 3 grams.

I agree with Paul, definitely under 2 weeks. 3 grams is the size of our hatchlings...

That little one appears to be only about 2-3 weeks old at the most.

 

[Grinning Geckos]

Agreed! 2, MAYBE 3 weeks (kinda pushing it).

Ok, thanks. I was thinking about that but I forgot to ask them. Then again, why would I need to when I can count on you guys!

In the other thread I made mention of 2 weeks to 1.5 months. And the reason for the 1.5 months, is without being told by a breeder, it's very poss for a leo to stay at hatchling weight if it gets off to a slow start. You wouldn't know this without beign told. However average hatch weight is 3 grams.
