Hi, I've had my gecko now for 4 months and now she is 5 months old, I just weighed her today and weighs about 27/28 grams. Is that too skinny for a gecko her age?? Here is a picture of her today.image.jpgATTACH
If you need more pictures I'll be happy to post more thank you!!!!

It doesn't really go by age, it goes by gecko. I had a gecko that was 51 grams at 3 months and another that was 7 grams at 6 months (those are extreme cases). The gecko looks proportional --the tail is the right size for the body-- so just keep feeding it and let it grow at its own pace.

I have seen FAR worse than that. It looks healthy enough and keep in mind geckos, like humans, can vary in size and shape. It should be fine but if you notice that the girth of the tail is decreasing in size, try using more tempting foods like waxworms or mealworms
