Males bigger than females??

[oli]

Just a basic question, are fattail males much bigger than the females?? Just asking because my male is massive compared to my females. What weight should females be to breed?? Thanks..

Oli, most of my femlae's are around 40-45 gram's and the male's at least 10-15 gram's larger. hope this help's you out.

With this weight are they ready to breed?

 

[frilled1]

yes

yeah, I just weighed my females, they are both 43g's. My male is 68! He's huge. My females are 1.5 years old and very plump tales, extremely healthy too. I don't think they will grow more than another gram or 2. They are definitely sexually mature. You know what that means! No more jail bait for my big boy.

Males are usually larger than females with most of the gecko species!! I remember when my male satanic was 20g larger than my female and they were both the same age...freaked me out he was ginormous!!

You think so?? I've found this to be the case with leopard geckos+african fat tails, but mostly every other specie the female is larger than the male since she's the one who needs the girth and size to lay the eggs.

male tokays are larger.

the males are larger because of evolutionary pressure due to male on male combat.
