Most medium sized gecko species will take 24months to fully mature. Although they can reach adult size prior to this age, most hobbyists recommend waiting as sometimes their reproductive organs are not fully developed. At two years of age the animal should be between 45-55Grams in weight. Females are the bearers of the eggs and will need to be a little bit bigger than the males to ensure that they have enough fat and calcium stores to provide to the offspring.
If properly cared for, any Leopard Gecko can live up to 20 years.

If you want to breed them. Leopard geckos reach maturity at about 9 months old, and a male can have several females. Beginning about 3 to 4 weeks after mating, the female gecko will have a clutch of eggs, usually 2, that hatch in about 2 months. You would be advised to keep male geckos away from the eggs and the young hatchlings.

I would say somewhere by 8/12 month's possibly more depending on the leopard gecko.
yes, but the 5 year old HAS to be a female.
When a leopard gecko feels threatened it loses its tail. The tail still moves because it has nerve endings in it, and will distract the enemy while the leopard gecko gets away. Eventually the leopard gecko will grow a new tail but it will not be as pretty as its old tail. It will grow back in a "light bulb" shape instead of sleek and straight.

Can start feeding them mealworms immediately. Leopard gecko really like crickets, so if crickets are always available do not expect them to eat many mealworms.
On average, the leopard gecko will live 5-10 years in the wild due to predators but in captivity, the oldest recorded leopard gecko lived to be 27 years old. Youtube "dink the leopard gecko"
Leopard gecko feet turn black due to a natural process called shedding, where old skin is replaced with new skin. The black coloration is a result of the shedding process and is temporary.
