weight question???

[abrahamavelar]

how much weight will an 8 inch healthy male gecko weight???

 

[Russellm0704]

Just post a pic of the gecko and we can judge whether she is too fat too skinny or just right. All geckos grow at different rates. Took one of my geckos a year and a half to get over 50 grams and took another 7 months to get to 60.

Ohhh ok, ill post some when I get home

Yeah, Russell is right there is no way to tell what a gecko should weigh by measuring how long it is.

 

[abrahamavelar]

ohhhhh ok, cuz i know its under weight since its previous owner only fed it 1-2 crickets every other day and without heating (uth or lights) but i was told it was between 1-3 years old and i tried weighting him yesterday but the only scale i have its pretty old it only gad oz and 100 gram increments an it was just barely above one oz so im guessing it between 30-35 grams

is his tail skinny??? ive seen geckos with a really fat tail and i want to know if he should have one????

 

[OnlineGeckos]

It's not a fat tail but it's proportional. So it doesn't look sickly if that's what you are wondering. The gecko can use some weight but if he's healthy and have no parasite issues, then just keep at it and he'll gain the weight eventually. Some geckos aren't meant to be large.

 

[abrahamavelar]

Ohhh ok so ill just keep doing wat im doing n we will see wats up later on
