Are you sure about those weights? A real muscle gecko weighs about 100g,
(~3.5 oz) and females might weigh half that, or less. >>
Beverly or anyone else that wants to reply,
The scale that we used to weigh Jake (female) and Andy (male) is
pretty accurate, so now I'm concerned that our leopard geckos need to be
fattened up. I have no idea how old they are, but they definately are not
muscle types.
They shed pretty regularly, so I thought they were healthly. I
don't know how many crix they each eat in a day as my son feeds them.
Is there something else we should be doing?
Appreciate your help,
Becky
