100 grams its not much. He think that it's much because he only give 7/8 worms to his leo and the leo can't get more weight.
A giant need to have more than 110 grams WHEN 1 year of age.
And don't have 25 cms.
50 - 70 grams its the weight of a normal leo with 7 months.
I believe the term "Giant" is becoming extremely hazy. I'll define my term - when I say Giant I am referring to Ron Tremper's stock.
GIANT LEOPARD GECKO FAQ by what he stated it's the super giants that weigh over 110g by 1 year. I have also noticed that the giant stock tend to have a distinct body type compared to a 'normal' class leopard gecko.
Now, as with all animals as somebody stated before, there is always going to be different body types. (This is especially noticeable in humans, that is why we have body types like endomorph, mesomorph, etc etc.) My boyfriend's gecko is petite, weighing in at only 50 grams by one year. There was nothing wrong with her and she was a healthy eater. She did have a very fat regen tail but by her body proportions you could tell that she had a smaller frame. The opposite can be very true as well. I have a male that just turned one year old and who is still growing. He's 10" long and weighs almost 84 grams. He is not obese at all, he's just a big boy.
BUT we have gone way off topic with this thread. Sorry for that.
As I stated earlier, juvies will eat ravenously and as they age their appetites will slow down because they aren't growing like they were when they were neonates. I think that overeating here has become kind of blown out of proportion along with all these FLD scares. Moderation and variety is key and you will have a healthy animal. That's my two cents. :shock:
