Leopard gecko weight?

[maggiee22195]

Hey, I was wondering if my leopard gecko is a proper weight. I just weighed him after I fed him and he is between 68 grams empty and 70 grams full. Does that sound right for a 2 year old male gecko? I think it does. Let me know what size you keep your geckos, male or female, at.
(I know what weight is right, I am just looking for your feedback and opinion.)

yes that weight is perfectly healthy. there is always room for improvement though
and its a fine weight to breed.

By the way the poll doesnt work in figuring out both male and female since we can only vote for one option lol.

bigger is definately better. I dont plan to breed any of my females unless there 65+ and males atleast 75+ which isnt a problem for any of mine haha most are coming up a year and are 65+ the ones under are quickly gaining:main_thumbsup: But them are my prefrences. My babies are my babies lol I wont risk breeding them to early or not healthy enough.

I dont breed my females until they are 55+g and males until they are 50+g. However, I only breed them that size if they are ovulating of course. I prefer to have them as big as possible before I breed. Its healthier for them, increased number of fertile clutches, and quicker recovery time after the season.

I "keep" them as big as possible. Whatever they max out at as adults.

My largest male is 105 g. My large females are around 80. Some geckos just don't get as big, obviously. I generally would not breed a female under 55-60 grams.
