Leo weight and tail fatness?

Everywhere I read there are variations on how much an adult leo should weigh. Some I see from 50-80grams to 60-115grams, and sometimes it flipflops around.

So, I'm curious, how much do your leo's generally tend to weigh as adults, what are their body lengths?
On average, how thick are their tails compared to the thickness of their body?

I would say best average range is 50-80 grams. Some geckos do get a tad bigger than that but not by much unless they are monstrous(not norm) or supers/giants.

Lengths are 8-10" for females and 10-12" for males I believe.

Thickness of tail can vary a lot depending on if the leo is breeding or some are not good eaters. I think its supposed to be 2/3 the body width... IDK I just go by looks like "Hey! looks nice and fat to me, there is a healthy gecko"

Mine is a female and I think 6 months old and 7 inches long. I don't know at what age they reach their max length either. As far as tail thickness I heard a rule of thumb is as thick as their neck. But like RR said. Healthy looks fat and depends on the Gecko I assume.
