so i've been on here for a couple months now, weekly.

i've been rummaging and browsing but there is no "expected" weight. As long as their healthy they're good. These are my babys and ive been trying to fatten them ALL up for this season.

I'm ultimately hoping for someone to approve the weights, let me know if its too young, or too skinny.

The problem with "expected" weights is that reptiles grow at different speeds, one animal the same age as another of the same species may be bigger or smaller. Body condition is a better indicator of appropriate weight than actual numbers.

As far as breeding goes, crested geckos should be 25 grams for males, 35 for females before breeding. AFTs 35 for males, 40 for females. Tokays can vary quite a bit, but most females around a year old and greater than 60 grams are at breeding size. The pictus, golden, and Turnerii are all about what I would expect those species to be at that age, but again, it has more to do with the actual body condition of the animal than a number to say if the animal is underweight or not.

Thanks Ted.
Again like you, most resources say you can't determine just by the age and weight and i do understand, you seem like a knowledgeable reference if i were to snap a shot of each could you tell me from there?
