Trying to figure age from weight.

[Wheels47130]

I have one Leo that is 6 grams and one that is 8 grams. What is the normal age at these weights?
Thanks for any help.

Very young. ;-) Can we see pictures?

I also just got the scale. I will RTM tonight as well. I am thinking this one is between 3-4 months ? I would say tip to tip about 4 inches long.


Thanks

That picture looks younger than 3 months... I would say about 6 weeks, my 4 month olds weight more than twice that (and they are not giants), I haven´t weighted them today, but I think they are about 15 grames at 4 months... I could give a more exact weight tomorrow because I am not staying at my home today.

I would agree. My two most recent leopard gecko acquisitions were 5 & 6 weeks old when I got them. One was 8 grams the other was 9, but they were a little thicker than the one in your picture.

Yes, the bands on the gecko in the picture are still quite solid, they are already fading at two months of age...

This picture is of a 2 month old (you can see the faded bands already):
