How much should a Leo weigh
My leo is about a year and a half years old I was just curious on how much it should wiegh. And if the weight limit is under the general weighing spot, is there a medical problem of any source? For example if your leo is suppose to weigh 45g, but it weights 35g, is there a serious problem?

Re: How much should a Leo weigh
Can you post a pic of your Leo? It depends on his size what his weight would be.

Re: How much should a Leo weigh
I don't have a camera but I could tell you how long she is. But when I get a chance,I will try to upload a pic. She is roughly about 8-9 inches long and about 2 inches in width. If that helps a little?

Re: How much should a Leo weigh
How much does she weigh? Is she eating and eliminating normally?
My adult female Leopard Geckos weigh in the 60-70g range. (I have just two, so it's not much of a statistical sample.) When I got them, they were about 50g.

Re: How much should a Leo weigh
She weighs about 55g and she is somewhat eating normally but she doesn't eat that much because I have been feeding her the same thing which is mealworms and not wax worms, which I am goin to start doin.

Re: How much should a Leo weigh
55 grams is fine. That is healthy for any leo regardless of age. If she were 7-8 inches long and weighed around 30-35 grams, she would be very thin and that would be an issue.

Re: How much should a Leo weigh
Waxworms aren't very nutritious and are too fatty as a regular diet item. They should just be given as an occasional treat. Be aware that some animals can develop such a preference for them that they can be stubborn about going back to their normal, more nutritious, feeder items. At 55 grams, your leo sounds healthy. Her tail should be thick and fleshy at that weight, not skinny. If you want to give her a few waxies as a treat, go for it, but I would recommend against offering more than a few every couple of weeks. My Leopard Geckos refused to eat their normal food after they had some, and it took me a while to get them eating again!

Re: How much should a Leo weigh
You might try offering her some super worms (not giant meal worms) and perhaps some crickets or roaches for diversity in her diet
I find that both super worms and roaches really put on weight on in leopard geckos and I agree that she sounds like she is at a good weight for her size I hope that you are able to post some pics soon ![]() |
