Giant or Midget Leos?

[DonMeyer]

Ok....as you know I got 2 leos one month ago(on Sat. it was). Now I'm not sure how old they were but both were the same size. Both are eating the same amount of crickets...but the normal is 3'' & the albino is 5''

So do I have a Giant Albino...or a Midget Normal!?

Just wondering! And abit concerned!

Thanks,

Are they kept together? If they are one will always be bigger than another. Also I have noticed Tremper Albinos normally get bigger. That's just an observation though. :)

Nope...both housed seperately and offered the same amount of food! Maybe my guy has some Tremper Giant in him? He is albino Ill get a shot of him later!

Hi Don
Leos like any other animal, whether or not raised with another animal can grow at different rates. You can buy two puppies, form the same litter, and have two separate growth rates going on. It depends on the eating habits and the animal itself. Doesnt mean you have dwarf or giant going on. I do find though that the albinos do tend to be a faster grower, but in the end all seem to end up the same size. Dont worry and good luck with your gang.
