Sexing Leos

[Rob123]

I was wondering at what age can you sex a leo, I have a new baby leo, and I wonder when I can sex it.

 

[Rob123]

No one?

It depends on the gecko, but some of the more experienced breeders can confidently sex them by around 15 grams.

 

[Rob123]

Oh, so its about weight? So if the geckos 20 grams do you think its sexable?

 

[Tony C]

Weight is a better indicator of maturity than age. 20 grams should be sexable.

Oh okay thanks Tony

On avg how long does it take for a Leo to hit sexable size?
I'm gonna get a super snow and a enigma soon so this info is really handy.

I have no clue how long it takes a Leo on avg to hit the 20gram mark

it depends on the gecko tbh but some ppl turn off all the lights at night and they put one of those really really good lights for stuff like this and put it to the babys vent and sex it but to me that just shows o its like a 0% of w/e u got when u looked at the gecko

Growth rates really depend on the individual gecko. I picked up two babies at 7 grams each a few months ago, one hit 20 grams in less than a month, the other took a little over two months.

I agree. Different geckos, different metabolisms, just like us.

My nova took a while to hit 20 grams, about 10 weeks.
