Greetings, everyone - I originally posted about the hatchling Mediterranean geckos I acquired during a cold spell. Now, nearly two months later, the geckos have grown very little, though they seem to be eating well.

I'm gut-loading the crickets I'm feeding them. Is there something I'm missing, or do they just grow very slowly?

Help? Anyone? Please?

Meds are not a big species anyway, so yours may be full grown. Where are you located? I know the european specimens stay even smaller than the ones now found elsewhere in the world. pm me back if you need more help, just gimme more to go on.

Ok, hatchlings are not gonna grow that fast at all in the winter, yours should show growth under captive conditions though. Maybe figure out how big they actually get to put it in perspective.

Thanks so much for the response! Mine are both about two and a half inches long. Out here in SE Texas, they seem to grow to be about five inches or so. I think they've grown a little since I got them, but they're nowhere near the size of the ones I see on my porch when it's warmer.

Oh, and by the by, they do seem to be healthy - they both eat and poop regularly (about one cricket each daily), and are super speedy.
