Crested gecko adult size

[Emily-Fisher]

I realize that cresties reach a fairly impressive size but I was wondering, just how big are they at a certain age?

I have a 1 year old female crestie who 14"... aren't they supposed to be bigger at this age and if so, how big should they be?

I am beginning to think that she has stunted growth or something...

Thanks!!

a 14'' crestie? is that possible? average length is about 6-7inches i think. are you sure it isnt a chameleon or something?

[J-Man]

Yeah that sounds a bit huge.

What kind of growth hormones are you feeding that mutant??!!

Do you mean cm instead of inches?

Are you keeping a leachianus and not a crestie?

Or are you just pulling our collective legs?

OMG... woops!!! I meant 14cm.... lol!!

[Wuntu Menny]

14 cm isn't too bad for a yearling female. She may be a little on the small side, but size is being overlooked for appearance with a lot of breeders these days. I have a female that isn't much bigger than that and she's doing fine.


...I just measured her and she's 17 cm at 2 years old.

I also have many diffrent sized cresteds i think that there are just small and large morphs as there are diffrences also in the size of crestes tails and so on.

My crested is 1 year and 8 months old and is 7.5-8 inches! he's a biggy and a piggy! Is that insane or just pretty quick growth?

Head to tail or just body...because all four of mine are under a year and are 8 to 10 inches

[CHRISANDBOIDS14]

Head to tail. Wow you have HUGE cresteds.

Mine is about 8 or 9 months old and he is 7 1/2" from head to tail. It seems like it took him a long time to start growing quickly but in the last couple months he has been eating and growing like a savage.

[CHRISANDBOIDS14]

Hmmm, pretty cool! Maybe i will go measure mine, he might have grown a bit lately, besides, my dad was just guessing his length because when he spreads his pinkie and thumb he gets a certain length, but im going to take a ruler!

Haha, ok hes just a normal crested, 7.5". LOL, i thought they grew faster but i just found they can grow to 10 inches! LOL. Stupid me, o well.
