What age?

[Wesswess28]

What age is a gecko considered an adult? I've had Gus for about 6 months and he was about a month or 2 when i got him, that makes him between 7-8 months. Do i keep feeding him everyday or drop down to 3-4 days?
Also, does he look healthy? is his tail fat enough in comparison to his body?

They are full grown near 12-18 months of age, you're little Gus looks great and very healthy for his size! I would start feeding every other day at this point and 2 days apart at 12 months. Finally 3-4 days apart at 18 months.

Good luck cute little Gus!

Your*. You can start feeding him every 3-4 days at a year old. Poppy, what do you mean by 2 days apart?

No need for the passive aggression, I am sure it was merely a typo..

I wasn't intending to be aggressive. I was just confused and asking for clarification.

Whoops, yes that was a typo!

2 days meaning wait two days and then feed (I am sure this gets confused by some, I could have said 3 days apart, that may have been better.) the third day. At the 18 month mark I said 3-4 days, same as my 12 month reccomendation with an added 4th day. Sorry for the confusion, I will reword it here!
