[Kvoigt]

So my leo Sonne whom ive had almost a month... i weighed him 3 weeks ago and he was 419g and last night after his soak and poo i weighed him and he was 465g!! so yeah.. this is my first official weight update from when i got him. i have no idea how much the average gain per month/year or what ever should be?? but that seems like a lot dosent it?? his diet has changed from his old and his humidity has also changed alot. he eats like a horse if i let him LOL usually he gets a plate of greens with mixed in zoo med grassland (calcium/d3 1x week) the size of him and its ALL gone by night time unless i try to sneak something new in like mustard greens LOL never know a tort would try n flick out food with there leg if he didnt like it!!! it was like watching my kids face trying to feed em peas! lmao he was not to happy with me! . his new growth lines are a bit thicker looking than what he seems to have had i duno if all this is good or not so much lol i guess im glad hes growing but maybe hes growing to fast??? Lemme know what you guys think i will try n post pics of new growth.. unfortunatly i only have a crappy camera phone so its hard to get a good pic but i will try!!!

the blue box shows the thick growth lines as best as i could get with my crappy camera phone and the under side looks as if it has had a few bigger growth lines but i duno lol

The new growth looks pretty good.

BTW - Sonne looks to like a female.

The new growth looks great. Maybe they were a little underweight and you are catching them up?? Great job!

I've had my leopard for over a year now and I did a little math and his average weight gain was about 14 grams a week. Of course some weeks were more and others less. I don't know if that's the norm or not.
