[bubblez825]

What are your guy's prefered size and weight? I don't have a scale, but I want to get one and stuff for hatchling racks, so i can breed and stuff. So, back to the main Q. What do you guys prefer for your gecko(s) saftey in breeding?
Thanks!

Males - 45+grams
Females - 50+grams
Will they/can they breed smaller than that yes. A lot of people will tell you that it will stunt their growth, I do not think it stunts them but it really slows their growth alot. Hopefully that helped.

45 grams for both. I will not breed the female at 45 if she does not seem to me like she will bounce right back up.

For me, 45 grams for males. If the female is over a year, then 50 grams. If sh'es just under a year (10-11 months), then 60+ grams. I had 2 females this year hit 63 grams right around 10 months and they both started ovulating shortly after that. If I don't know their age, then I wait until 60 grams also.
