Leopard growth rate?

_simon_ · 19-05-2011, 01:04 PM

On average what kind of growth would you expect to see in a year?

Well, it depends on what size you start out with. A new hatchling could be 100 to 400g at the end of the first year. An adult could gain several pounds in the same time period. It's all relative.

What would that equate to in inches of growth? Just wondering how long my current enclosure would last if I was to get a leopard born late 2010.

Well what I have currently set up is 5' long by 2.5' wide. How long would that realistically last?

Going on the little guy of mine, about a year old when i got him and was tabled in a 4x3 foot. He was about 12cms after about 2 years. May get 3-4 years outa a 5 footer.

Ah that's not too bad, would get some decent use out of it then. Could you glance at my other thread in housing about leopard temperatures as well please?

Good luck with your leopard they are well worth the effort.

Under ideal conditions... they can double in size each year.

I've got a 4 year old leopard that is about 150g.

Growth is totally dependent on temperature and nutritional input.
