When does a gecko stop growing?

[Neill]

So Im just wondering this, because i have a male that is 1 year old now and hes still gaining some grams. Maybe its just weight but would love to know when a leo stops "growing".

From my limited experience, mine seems to keep growing till around 2 years old; then their weight pretty much stabilize.

really. mine seem to reach sort of normal adult size in like just over a year- ish. probably depends how often and what theyre fed.

Maybe I need to reword what I wrote above; yea, the geckos seem to reach adult size around 1 year (say, gets to 75g). Then in the following months they can slowly gain another 10-20g, and become more stout/robust.

We have males that were still filling out at 2+ years old.

if it gets to 75g and still gains another twenty then .... its masive! lol. especially if its not giant.

My male is 80 grams and is just from a normal. I have kept him away from girls and just feed him :-D. maybe that is why hes so big he doesn't know about girls yet LOL!

Yea, I have 7 non-giant males; they range from 90-110g. I love them BIG! :main_laugh:

Oh that might be the case! I have never bred any of my geckos, so their energy went to building up their size instead!
