Size and Life Expectancy

- Unlike other gecko species, leopard geckos can actually live a long time. Under ideal captive conditions, leopard geckos can live up to and over 20 years, with males typically living longer than females.

- Hatchling leopard geckos are approximately 3-3.5 inches in length and typically weigh around 3grams.

- On average, adult leopard geckos are just over 8 inches in length and typically weigh around 45-60grams. Of course, there are always exceptions to these rules.

- Hatchling leopard geckos grow very quickly and can reach full adult size by 18 months of age!
