I have two little leopards. I jsut love 'em to bits. They came to me as 2 week olds. That was five years ago last month (March). They are b\now 6 1/2" and 7 1/2". They weigh about 2 1/2 pounds each. I know many grow a lot faster than mine but I think maybe their slow growth is due to the fact they don't get a lot of heat outside. Sun yes, but heat no. Most days in the summer here are in the 70's. BTW the smaller one showed me me was a bot just recently. The larger one is still a mystery. I would be interested in also hearing about others sizes, weights, etc.

: Up to 30 inches or more.
: to get to 9 or 10 inches can take from 5 to 10 years plus.
