i have three leopard geckos currently, one male and two females, and the one male is small, it doesnt grow very quickly, and ive had it for over a year and it hasnt grown much in a year. when i got it it was four months old and was growing fast but suddenly stopped.

the one female i have is a albino, and its around two years old but isnt quite as big as my othe female, a snow blizzard het that is adult size.

now, the two smaller ones dont seem to be growing, or shedding, so there obiously not growing.

i feed them twice a week (i buy 100 crickets and divide them up between two golden geckos and the three leopard geckos)

and the head i use is zoomed under tank heaters.

they are housed in ten gallon tanks except the full sized adult, who i keep in a twenty gallon tank.

and the food is dusted every feeding.

what could be wrong/ could they just be genetically small?

ive been questioning the size of them for about a week now.

Dont know why your little male isnt growing. If everything is good ie. temps, food, minerals and such. Maybe just a genetic fluke.
I have a little female that is about 6 yrs old. She is TINY!. But then again, she had incubation issues and has eyelid deformities and tail deformities. My kids wouldnt let me cull her when she hatched. So now we have a small, vicious, deformed gecko that we have to hand feed... :rolleyes:
