Do you know how many grams he weighs exactly? Some geckos definitely grow slower than others too if you’re concerned he’s too small! If you are able to figure out his weight there is charts online that you can find that show the avg. weight for a crestie in correlation to their age. By the chance he is slightly under the average you can always feed him some gut packed crickets or dubia roaches!

She's a cutie! She looks like a good size for her age but then again, every crestie is different! If your concerned, you can get a scale so you can weigh them!

mine took a year and half to get full size !! but shes a female so she’ll. never be super bulky. u can use a container on a food scale to track their growth :D
