    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....

My largest Leo is a 10 month old SHTCT x Giant Albino from Kelli H. He weighs 111 grams and isn't close to being done growing. The best thing about him is his temperament, he seems to enjoy interaction with me. Tell me about your largest leopard gecko, I'm curious.

Got me beat, the last time I weighed my APTOR came in at 90... I am sure he's not done! I have a few others that trail just behind.
 
glenn one of my patternless 83 grmas durring breeding.... target also gets quite big at around 90 grams however glenn is just a little over a year
 
The largest gecko I've had was from petco. His max weight was 110g and he was about 10in long. Hehe..the signs at petco said they only get up to 6in max.
 
My biggest leo is currently 116g. He was up to 118 before breeding.

I know this isn’t a leo but my biggest fat tail was up to 140g before breeding.

89 grams the last time I checked, and I try to keep him on the lean side.
 
Housing size?

I just got into it with diablohog about the sizes of giants versus normals and i wanted to know what you all have housed them in so that it may help me back up my argument
 
I have an albino giant thats about 100 grams now and still growing, can't wait to see how big he does get and he is in a 42qt tub.
 
Mmmmm BEEFY.

I'd say he is just big boned. He will only eat mealies. He flat out refuses to chase crickets. He's not fat just BIG.
 
Well, I do have a male blizzard that's lean at over 100 grams. This is my largest female, again, lean. She's on breeding loan right now, and I have a feeling she'll be coming back on the chunky side.

She is a WC Eublepharis m. montanus. That's her next to a 65-70 gram hypo.

Hehe… I think Jeremy beat me on that one. I’ve had another male up to 120g but not over that. Not only are my largest males big they are also pretty long. My fat tail male does need Jenny Craig. Now I need to name a female Jenny Craig and he’ll loose weight. :D
 
first of all let me say i love big leos but mine arent 100+ grams giants or other i just moved all my geckos to 28qt tubs so we'll see
oh and dragonfly have you read on trempers site about how too large an enclosure can stress a leo. i dont beleive all i read on one site so im guessing you dont have this problem but im wondering if your tub is tall or if you have more floor space than my 22 1\4 x 16 x 6 in tubs

Mine are 20.5 x 19 x 7, he is mainly in that size tub so that I can move the 2 giant albino females in with him after they are all out of quarantine.
 
My biggest Leo is a Male Tangerine we got from Albey several years ago. He's a chunker, and I've seen him up to 103g. I think he's down a little now, but still a solid little boy. He's gained spots as he's aged, but still shows some of his Tangerine. I've got a couple eggs incubating from him and my SHCT (used to be Baldy) Urban Gecko female. He's in one of the Larger Rubbermaid Sweaterboxes, about 22x16x6 right now.

Here he is, his name is Jack
