reuben.a Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Hi guys so what does everyone reccomend a good weight for a female breeding leo? Most overseas breeders tend to say 40g+, what are everyones opinions? An i take it by "good weight" they mean a good balanced weight rather than just a young gecko that has been powerfed and is just fat rather than a good breeding size. Any input would be appreciated.

alanmin4304 Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 I wait until 50 grams but some say 45 grams (for females). However, if they are producing eggs it is no more hardship to produce fertile rather than infertile eggs. It takes me over a year to get them to 50 grams as I don't like to push them. Once they start breeding they don't usually put on much more weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 I bred mine at about 50 grams nothing was laid until recently with the biggest female weighing 100+, the most productive female id have to weigh but she is about 70-80g roughly.
