Super Giant Leopard Gecko » Facts and Care Tips

The supergiant leopard gecko is the homozygous version of the giant leopard gecko trait. About giants and normal geckos, also known as wild leopard geckos, the supergiant leopard gecko is the biggest in the world

Supergiant Leopard Gecko Size

Males are over 110 grams and females over 90 grams per year of age. They can be any pattern or color. Unless both parents are known Super Giants there are no visible ways to tell Giant from a Super Giant until 10-12 months of age.

A super giant leopard gecko can easily reach 10 inches in length. Hatching in May 2001 from a selected Tremper Giant bloodline. The, with its 11 3/8″ long, was the largest supergiant leopard gecko.
In these moments several recognized breeders have managed to obtain supergiants geckos leopard, descendants of Moose. This new phase was called Godzilla, for presenting the new record for the world’s largest leopard gecko. In only two years of its hatching, this specimen surpassed 169 grams, and 11 and 5/8 inches long, reaching a new length record on October 20, 2010, with 11 and 13/16 inches.

Super Giant Leopard Gecko Care vs Normal

The care of a giant leopard gecko is the same as one of the normal sizes. Except for food of course. These reptiles, being larger than their heterozygous versions, need a higher intake of nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. The criterion of increasing the diet from 20 to 30 % is advised. That if, always observing the behavior of the animal. Especially the thickness of the tail. If this thickness is a sign of overfeeding and if it begins to reduce, it is necessary to increase the intake of nutrients.

Another detail to consider is the size of the terrarium. These reptiles are not so small anymore. A 10-gallon terrarium that would be more than enough to house a normal leopard gecko is no longer enough.
I suggest that if you are interested in taking home a giant or supergiant leopard gecko, buy a 20-gallon terrarium. and if you would like to get offspring, or have a pair (female and male) of supergiant leopard geckos, go straight to a 40-gallon reptile tank.
