I don't post here often, as I have a lot more to learn than say on the topic of reptiles (as opposed to my presence on car forums where I'll have between 2 and 5 posts per day), but some of you might remember my sort of intro-post where I introduced Gonzo, the Petsmart Mystery Morph.
At this point in time, he's about 11 months old, and he's big. Its hard to get him to sit still enough to measure him accurately, but he's just shy of 10.5 inches in length, and quite bulky. He's a little bit of a chubster, but he only really started putting on bulk when he hit around 9.5-10 inches in length. Two of my friends have leos, one your spot-on classic normal, the other a raptor, both of which are significantly smaller in both length (by an inch or more) and bulk/heft. I don't feed him fatty foods, his diet has pretty much consisted of crickets of various sizes for a while, then I switched him over to superworms for ease of storage (and no noise/smell). He usually eats two or three supers every day. Weight is roughly 100-110g.
When we bought him he was easily the largest one in the tank. Now he's just a beast, and isn't afraid of silly things like dorm building fire alarms (they merely anger him while he sleeps outside of his hides). No idea of his genetics, he's just huge.
