P. rangei growth rate

[PeterW]

Can anybody tell me some more about the growth rate of Palmatogecko rangei? I can't find anything in the literature about that.
My rangei seem to do fine, but i noticed that they grow very slow, is this normal?
Is P. rangei a slow growing species?
On what age are they +/- adult?
Thanks in advance

Anyone?

I've found that they really start to grow faster when they reach 5-6 months. I switch to two week old crickets when they are around 3-4 months, and that is when they start to take off.

They are considered full-grown adults at 11-14 months or so, but it all depends on husbandry.

Thanks for the input, Nathan

I think someone is writing a book about these little guys

Josh, you know the story. Someone has completed the captive husbandry section and someone else is supposed to finish the natural history section. I know, I know. One day...
