Time it takes for leo to become full grown

[bamsd619]

Hi Everyone:

I want to start off my thanking everyone for their time in answering my prior post questions. I have a general question:

How long does it take for a leo to become "full grown" or at least 40+ grams?

Thanks!

Leos could be 40 grams in pretty shrt time roughly 3 most would be on thw quick end. They attain most of thier growth by 8-12 months of age but can grow a good amount till 18-24 months old. Anyone could correct this if its needed.

Thats hard to say, depends on how much its fed etc.. I think any exact time would be a guess.

Agreed. Some geckos are just going to be larger than others depending on their genetics, feeding. and husbandry. I think it is safe to say that most leopard geckos are considered 'full-grown' at approximately 10-18 months of age. In regard to breeding, males should be around 9-10 months and at least 40 grams and females should be 12 months and at least 50 grams. The more mature a gecko is, the risks of breeding, egging, and recovering become less. You will get more fertile clutches, and they will bounce back faster between laying eggs.

Thanks Marcia. This is exactly the confirmation that I needed.
