Re: Giant or super giant?
Don't know if he is a giant or super giant but he is a nice looking big boy!!!
Ron Tremper says male super giants often reach 110+ grams in 12 months. Giant males generally weigh 90-110 grams. Super giants exceed 110 grams. All this was stated by mr. Tremper. Here is a link (don't know if you read it or not) http://www.leopardgecko.com/giantfaq.html

lol. Thank you. Saw that too while you gave me that link for the enigma question i had. It really is educational. I was just wondering if there was a way to tell YET ;) i guess if he's still growing (just shed today) chances are good he's a super giant. I guess i'll just have to continue waiting :)
Re: Giant or super giant?
He's more than likely a Giant. But he's only 8 months so if he reaches over the 100 gram mark he would be a super giant IMO. Nice looking guy!

Thank you :)
also, would the frequency of shedding have anything to do with rate of growth? These questions come from curiosity of his genes but also because i do want to breed him (in a few years, once i get his mates and all that) and i'm just thinking of what his offspring would be as well. Lol.
Re: Giant or super giant?
update: 9 months. 104 grams. i'm feeling a little better about him :D

Honestly unless you buy a giant or super giant from the original guys who created the morph its pretty hard to say if any gecko is a giant or super giant. Do you have a beautiful big boy, thumbs up. yes you do. Remember the old saying. You get what you pay for. If you went to Ron Tremper or geckosetc.com than theres a solid chance your buying a Super Giant. I think that these days alot of people are throwing the Giant or Super Giant term around to loosely. And if you tell someone that the gecko they have isn't 100% a giant or super giant they get mad or other people on the forums get upset. This is a simple question you asked. Which can not be answered in one sentence. I have heard of rumors of this person and that person having geckos over 200 grams. But where is the proof. I can photoshop also. I like real proof. I feel Ron and the Origal people who help create the Super Giant should sell you a linage certificate. lol. Like a pedigree. From Moose or Godzilla or the other guys who were helping create the Super Giant 30 years ago. hope this helps.

Re: Giant or super giant?
First of all name calling are for children. What you wrote was disrespectful. The Super Giant line was produced a little over 10 years ago. By Mr. Tremper. How is any of this dumb. These are facts. Respected breeders will never claim they have a Giant or Super Giant unless they have some lineage to the Moose or Moose's lineage. This includes Moose's brother that was slightly longer than him. Moose just weighed more. I have hatched out huge geckos myself. But Out of respect im not going to say they are Super Giants. Do I own Super Giants from the Moose and Godzilla Lineage yes. Have I bred them and created real Super Giants and Giants YES! But insulting someone is just kiddish. I was trying to help someone understand where people go wrong by calling anything a Giant or a Super Giant. By all means any one has the rite to call a grasshopper a Gator. Its there rite. But I was stating facts. And you my friend are just insulting someone. Keep it up, seems like your good at hurting peoples feelings. Just not mines. Many people will read this and see your just a mean spirited person. And hope one day you can stop your childish ways. peace!
