I don't think so, data has been collected on Leopards lengh and weight, maybe by Tortoise trust again i think. They seem to have growth spurts when young, new growth can sometimes be seen on the shell, as white/creamy coloured lines.
My youngest statistic's at 14 cms was 425 grams.

This is a database and chart for Leopards that contains data added by members of the Leopard forum, Its nothing scientific its just so that it could be used as a comparison for yours
Database http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/l...ortRows&tbl=14 The charts are based on the data that members added http://f1.grp.yahoofs.com/v1/ILQbTKZ...s/Imperial.JPG http://f1.grp.yahoofs.com/v1/ILQbTLW...rts/metric.JPG
