weight of Lygodactylus

[wildvet]

Hello everyone.

I'm having problems finding out how heavy (light) my lygodactylus williamsi are. No reference in books and google wasn't helpful either. I need the weight to calculate medication (they have coccidia), and obviously I don't have the possibility to weigh them myself.
Can anyone help?

Thanks
Berit

kitchen balance aint accurate enough but it said 2g for 2 lygo's so my estimation a bit less than 1g let's say 0.8-0.7 g

It just _has_ to be more than less than a gram. Judging from the size, adults should weigh in at between 4 and 10 grams to take a wide guess.

Face it, a cubic centimeter of water weighs one gram. I'm thinkin' that the gecko may contain a little more than that..

..although you didn't mention size. It is an adult, correct?

I'll try to weigh one of my L. mombasicus geckos with a precision scale.
