Weight

[pussmunky]

How much should a fully grown normal leo weigh? Just askin cos one of mine weighs 72g and the other approx 56-57g

IMO its hard to give a "normal" weight for any animal. There are way to many things that come in to play like how often you feed, temps, sex, genetics..... I would say (again IMO) that any gecko that is around 45g and up is a mature size, but that doesn't mean that they are mature..... If that makes any sense.

Those sound like pretty good weights. I only have a few but my male weighs about 76g and my females are around 50 - but they're only about a year old and I assume they'll top out around 60-65. There are also giant leopard geckos that can get up to more than 150g.

From what I understand, fleshy bubbles or pockets behind their front legs indicate that they're eating too much calcium or are overweight. If the widest point of their tail is the base they're underweight. In general, if neither of those statements describes your geckos they should be about the "right" weight and healthy

I don't care much about weight anymore, because some geckos are born larger or smaller than others. So as long as their body proportion is right, then they are healthy.

p.s. My adults range from 68g to 122g.
