Ideal gecko weight?

I have a 6-7 year old gecko that is about 6-7 inches and I just got a scale today. I'm wondering what a good healthy weight for her would be. I've seen weight standards to other geckos and for my corn snake but I haven't been able to find the standard weight for a leopard gecko.

Thanks!

I think the breeding weight goes min for males is 45g min for females 50g so if its adult anything over that should be good, correct me if im wrong anyone.

I'd judge it more by appearance than a raw number. But for an adult in the 6" range, I'd say anything between 60 amd 80 grams would be pretty average.

I just weighed her and she weighed in at 53g. I plan on getting some wax worms to help put weight on.

If she is 6" snout to tail tip, 53g sounds fine. As long as she has meat on her and have a plump tail, its good enough.

Yeah she's about 6-7 inches from snout to tail tip. She definitely has meat on her and her tail is fat but she doesn't have that fat plump look that a lot of the geckos on here have.
