Size for shipping?

What size do you wait for babies to reach before you will ship them? I think 15-20g would be fine, what about smaller?

size matters

I don't like shipping them until they are around 20 grams or so... but 1-2 week old hatchlings get shipped to pet stores all the time.

I would like for them to be 20 grams before I ship them but there are exceptions, if the baby is really fat and healthy and I know the buyer is an expert keeper Ill ship at 10+ grams if the weather is correct and they get good early deliveries but this would be a special case only not general practice

Ive also bought them in 10-45 lots at 1-2 weeks old and 5 grams and less and never had a DOA come in and never lost any

yeah usually by 10-15 grams they've proven themselves to be healthy and eating well and all that. I would say 10 gram minimum for me personally, assuming they are otherwise healthy.

I prefer to ship after they hit 10 grams. I have shipped them smaller without any troubles. The smaller ones I have shipped were to experienced keepers. The more inexperienced the keeper the larger I like the gecko to be.
