Is he a midget?

[Bling_my_leo]

I have been looking and I think Ebony, one of my three month old leo may be a midget. He/she is housed with Skyler, my other three month old leo. Skyler is longer and bigger built (bigger legs, fatter tail, bigger head). They get feed the same amount of food and calcium d3. He/she is very healthy just like his bro/sis. Do you think he/she is a midget leo?

Thanks everyone.

how much do they weigh?

 

[Bling_my_leo]

I can't answer that. I don't have a scale. When I hold Skyler, and then Ebony. I can tell Skyler weighs more, maybe 2 grams or 1 gram more.

I have 2 sister leopard geckos that I hatched that have almost 10 gram difference. I think some are fast growers and some are slow growers.

Are they male and female? If so, I would recommend separating them until they are big enough to breed (because they will). What size enclosure are they in? If there is not enough room for two geckos, one can intimidate the other which might cause it to eat less. Also, keep in mind that geckos come in different sizes.

I think some are fast growers and some are slow growers.

I think that may be what is happing here.... ?

Are they male and female?

I have no clue. Still to young to sex.

What size enclosure are they in?

20 gallon long. Plenty of room for both. I watch then eat, they always get the same amount.


Thanks everyone.

I have sexed my 1 month old leos and sold the males off with a garuntee.

3 months is plenty old enough IMO. I have a few geckos that were very slow growes but when they reached 9 months they did a growth spurt and are now 70+ grams.

3 months is too young to assume there dwarfs if you see a huge size difrence at 1 year then maybe, untill then hatchlings are completly difrent.

I THINK that they both may be males. Don't worry, this week my date is going to put a divider in their cage.

I think all petco leos are males. Because my eight month old leo is too a male.
