Hello I just got my new gecko from pet co and the people had no clue how old it was is there a way to figure out how old it is. I am guessing it is about 4-6 months old
If you don’t know the hatch date, there’s virtually no way to tell their age unfortunately. Their growth rates can vary quite a bit, I’ve seen 1 year olds weigh anywhere from 3g to 50g. Things like diet, temperature, genetics, and whether they’ve had any bouts of anorexia (from stress or illness etc), play a role in their growth.
Unfortunately not as said, Varys so much on weight and sizes.
Have you got more images?
No he is definitely not overweight. In fact he looks a tad bit thin to me. Do you feed Repashy or Pangea? Both are quality brands……
He looks absolutely fine, babies are usually quite ribby/lanky looking
