Average weight of males

[Tarentola]

My adult male weighs at least 1000 grams(thats as high as the scale goes to too...I use it for small geckos usally) and he is 3.5 feet long,

Is that a good body weight?

not bad, what is he eating? how old is he? my 4 year old 3.5 ft. male is 1300 grams, he eats F/T large rats.

1300g and eating large rats?

my 3yr old male 5ft bp is about 1350grams, and yes he COULD eat large rats if he would just eat again! lol

I had a 49" male (around 8 years old) that weighed 1700 grams, and I thought he was a little skinny. I think 3.5 foot and 1000 grams sounds ok to me.

Sapphire- 5 FEET?? That's a huge male (but sounds waaaay skinny). Too bad he ain't eatin' for ya. :(

actually, as far as his weight is, he's almost as big around as a soda can(a little smaller around though)! That was the last weight I got on him, exactly 3lbs.

He is big, We had him in a 4ft long cage, he went from one end to the other then went completely around the cornor (which was about another foot)!

He came off a 9month fast and ate about 4times for me. Now he's not eating again. Not to worried, tonight is feeding time.

But he won't get fed for about a month after tonight (moving to Maine and it's going to be a 3-4 day drive) so feeding before (leaving sunday, so if he eats it's plenty of time to digest!) we leave then waiting a few weeks to feed after we set everything back up.


This is my most recent pic, taken about 3-4 months ago.
He is exactly the same weight now as he was then (shed only once since then)

yeah, he eats a large rat bout once a month, and he is putting on good weight getting ready for the winter. the female he is going to breed to is eating good too. last time i fed her she ate 3 small rats, cuase i didn't have any medium rats, and i am going to breed those two this winter. he is a reg and she is a 100% het orange ghost i got from corey woods.
