    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hey there. Yeah, I'm still new at this. :raspberry

I don't know exactly how old my geckos are but I was wondering, what is considered "HEALTHY" for AGE compared to WEIGHT compared to LENGTH.

I guess my major concerne is if my babies are over or underweight. They look healthy and their tales are fat. However, like I said earlier, I am still new at this and don't have anything to compare it to.
 
I don't thinik there is any specific magical number, as each animal will be different. Generally, a healthy look is good for babies/juvies, since they won't have all the fat built up in the tail yet (although it should be getting fatter), and they're only overweight if you notice large fat pockets forming, which is unlikely in babies/juvies.

I used to have a bunch of data for my hatchings to about 3 months old but lost most of it during a database crash earlier this year, so I don't have my nice graphs for comparison anymore.
 
sucks about the crash Brian. i remember seeing one of your graphs. i wanted to keep better track of my stats so i was wondering what program i should use, what do u use?
 
I had actually used a mysql database (the same one that contains all the animal info on my website). I just exported to a comma-delimited file and imported into excel. So basically you could do the exact same things in excel.
 
That's an awesome link. I am surprised that there hasn't been a comprehensive survey yet. I don't even know how old my geckos are since a bought it from the oppresive and abusive national chain vendor. I didn't know how bad those animals had it until I was educated after the fact. My geckos tails are getting fatter and one looks like it's developing a double chin...
