Marcia, those are some nice-sized parents for sure!! As for his weight:

I don't have a current weight on him and don't have a scale to weigh him on at home, but I think he was around 30g or so last vet visit.

I'll see if I can't run him in to the vet teaching hospital here and get an updated weight. We FINALLY got an exotics ward and an exotics specialist here! :D

I think he is gorgeous too and really unique. I don't know what he should be bred with to try to figure out his genetics though. The only females I have are the PRS and a SHT of unknown parentage (also a __co pickup). Any suggestions?

Don't fret about him being small. He might of just been a runt. I have a runt leo that is about 1 and a half inches smaller than his brother. They are both 6 months old age. He is just a runt. Maybe this is your problem too...

My friend has a leo that is 4 years old and smaller then all 4 of mine that are all under 1 year old. Hers looks to be in perfect health full proportional and eats great. She's really actvie and loves to be held. My friend has done everything i have in raising her leo, neither of us have had any complications with health or eating. Her's is just smaller. I also have a pair or normies that are from the same clutch. One is a full 2.5" shorter than her sister but only 15 grams lighter. Either way Geckos come in all sizes, like humans, our enviroment shapes everything.

I bought a lvpa from Ryan and Val some time ago that also refused to grow, she is about 3 years old now I believe give or take a few months and is only about 43 grams. Oh yeah Ry and Val she finally broke the 40 boundary :). We are just calling her a natural dwarf.
