Leopard??

[Tony the tank]

Well as some know.I picked up two leopards(babcocki)..There both 5yrs old, one is 7" the other 6.5"

I have a few questions... Is a 5yr old considered juveniles, sub adults or adults??
Will they get bigger?..If so how much bigger?? At what age will they approach full size?? And average weight??

I know it's a lot of questions but not a lot of information on the net..

From what I have read on this forum about leopards, the size is more an indicator of adulthood than the age. Yours are probably not yet adult but getting close. Probably what would be called sub-adult. They grow to about 12 to 15 inches in adulthood and may keep growing some as they get older.

Yours should get to be in the 12" / 15# range in a few years.

At 5yrs should they still be kept on the humid side or dry??

No problem, i was Just was hoping you had it mixed up. I was wondering how I was going to carry a 100 pounder up and down Three flight of stairs everyday. The 40 lbs is enough for me

Since they're both male, and decidedly babcocki, 12 inches might be the maximum they will get to if that. I'd say 20 - 30 pounds would be a good estimate of their fully grown weight. They probably have another 2 to 3 years before the growth will start to slow down.
