Question
hi. ive had my leopard gecko vinnie since the 11th may 2012. i cant seem to find anything about the size of her on the net, but need to know if she is the right size for her age.

so she is roughly 5 months old is 32 grams (the last time i checked) and is 7"

i mean is she big for her age (not weight wise but length wise). she hasnt filled out yet. has a nice fat tail though

Answer
Hi Sarah,
Your leo is a bit large for her age, but not overly large. She may be older than you were told if she was purchased at a pet store though...or she may be one of the leos that are larger sometimes referred to as "giants". A good sized female will be about 45 grams at about 9 months.   Glad to hear that she has a nice fat tail...she sound like a healthy, happy leo!
