Growth rate of Leos

[Hoosier]

Hello, I was wondering if leopard geckos grow fast and if theyre very easy to care for. Will dry bed-a-beast work as bedding?

They can grow quickly if you feed them often, keep their temperatures optimal, gutload their feeders, and ensure that they aren't carrying any detrimental parasites. I've had some leos hit their full-grown size (60+ grams) in 6-7 months of age.

Ive had some that no matter how I feed them..they grow slow.... They eventually do get to be 50g+ but never seem to reach that magical 60g.

ive had mine since they were 6 or 8 weeks old, and they were pretty big by 6 months and havt grown much since... dunno the grams since i dont have anything to weigh them by, but my friend has had her gecko for about 7 months since it was a baby and hes bigger than mine

It depends on the genetics as well. I have some petite leos, but I do have some large ones too.
