    Here she is again, at 15 months old. She weighed in at 85 grams tonight. She has definitely been eating well for me. And now for some pics :)

    Someone sure does make a mess around here!

    Here, I took her outside. This picture is her in natural sunlight, instead of with a flash. I was amazed at how much the sun brought out her bright colors.

    Thanks for your encouragement to keep it up. Yes, it is truly amazing to see how much a little leo grows and changes in the first year! I am glad that I took pictures and kept track :)

    Update time again :)

    Boo has been eating well this summer, and weighs 86 grams. Earlier this month, after a meal of 9 large crickets, she weighed 88 grams! Typically, she'll eat 1-3 crickets every day or two. And now for the pics :)

    sooo cute. mine is also only 3-4 weeks old. i've had him for a week and was prob only 2-3 weeks when i got him from the store. they didn't say, but was labelled a baby, and very very small, so thats my guess. i guess its not illegal :)
    i don't know how much mine weighs though i do not have a scale yet.

    Yep, she's still at 8 5/8 inches. I measured her yesterday, and she actually seemed to be 8 9/16 inches, 1/16 less than before. I don't know . . . either she wasn't as straight as she was last time, or the chubby has made her shorter? ? ?

    Oh, and I forgot to say in the last post, now she is 16 1/2 months old ;)

    Her last shed was September 14, and tonight she is looking like she will be all bright and pretty again before morning :D

    Either you have very small hands or your leo is HUGE!

    It's about time maybe plus a little for an update and a few more pictures :)

    age: 18 months

    Length: 8 3/4 inches

    Weight: 89 grams

    She's had a couple sheds since I posted last. Here are a few photos of my little girl.

    She is a good shedder, so this is only the second piece I have found in her tank. It is quite an amazing piece though . . . it has gone to a kindergarten in a plastic bag as part of the kids lesson about reptiles. Here are a few photos I took before sending it off.

    Photos taken since her most recent shed (11/2)

    She is eating crickets like crazy, but refuses to have anything to do with worms, so I have quite a collection of worms building up . . . maybe I should get another leopard gecko :D

    Yesh you should! hahahaha she looks great btw, so nice and tubby. :D

    Ed's been refusing food again (I think just to drive me crazy) but Pumpkin is a little hoover when it comes to super. She ate 5 last night, yes the big ones. And little baby is a great eater.
