My MONSTER Male Grande Terre Yates

[aschnell]

You just made my day. I love size comparison pics, and I think everyone here knows that lol. I took some pics recently of a Yate x Poindimie a bit longer than yours but not as heavy. I'll post them soon.

Just and FYI for everyone, 448 grams on a scale would be officially the heaviest leachianus ever photographed to provide proof of it's weight. Looking forward to seeing those pics, it quite a claim to say you own the heaviest leachianus gecko on record. I know there are heavier animals, but no proof exists of their size as of yet, so they don't officially count "on the record" as far as I'm concerned. Props man.

OK I took some shots of him on the scale this morning for you guys, and I am happy to say that he has gained 7g and now weighs in at 455g.

There is no trickery here, I used a My Weigh scale with a 7000g capacity, and the tray that came with it, which was tared before the gecko was placed on.










Enjoy!

Damn man that Yate is a big boy. Thanks for posting the pics.

P.S. What did you do feed him rats to bulk up lol.

that is awesome drew!!!! thanks for posting those pics. sometimes it's difficult to tell how big or heavy some leachies are especially through pics. and sometimes even pics don't don't do it justice. i recently got a scale and and realized the old scale that i was using was way off. one of my GT's was so off that i weighed her several times to make sure that i was reading it right. my biggest is an F1 Yate female...she's sitting at 368g now!! i probably pissed her off because she bit me so hard and wouldn't let go!!! it drew blood on the top of my finger and the underside of my finger. i couldn't believe how strong her jaws were.

Lots and lots of mice LOL. At times he has been known to eat 8-10 fuzzy mice in one sitting...

That's awesome! My 2 largest female Yates are right around that size also, one of which I think might actually get bigger than this male the way she has been going. I've been lucky, with 20+ Leachies I have never been bitten.

*Knocks on wood*

Thanks to all for the kind words.

Dude you are so going to get bit now for saying that. 8-10 fuzzies is insane, no wonder he is so damn big.

Oh yeah and Andrew is going to be so excited about these pics, he is 1) not going to sleep tonight, 2) gonna make a poster for his room from one of the pics and 3) pretty much love you forever, lol.
