Leopard Gecko Kirk: Twenty days of leo growth

[cheddarness8]

This is Kirk's growth between July 9th and July 29th. He seems to be getting big very quickly. I'm excited, but like any new parent, a little concerned. Is it normal for him to be growing at this rate? I like to think that he's improved drastically since I purchased him, but I also don't want to fool myself, which is why I'm deferring to you gecko experts.

I haven't been measuring or weighing him, unfortunately, which I realize now I should have been. Hopefully the photos will speak for themselves.

Wow what a big little guy!
My only thing I might say is maybe he is a giant type of leo?
I've personally never seen the growth of them so I can not say 100%.

I purchased him from a local well-managed chain pet store, so honestly, anything is possible. I have no idea what morph he is or if he may or may not be a giant. I've never owned a leopard gecko before either, but compared to the other reptiles and amphibians I've owned, I feel like this growth is kind of shocking! However, I think the giant strain is fairly rare, so it's rather unlikely that's the thing. Maybe he is just a BIG boy? XD

Thanks, Elizabeth! Glad to hear from you.
