Hello fellow gekkota fans,
I have a female leopard gecko, that has been getting very very fat this past
month. I thought that she might be pregnant, but I don't see eggs in her
belly or should I say that I don't know how to look for eggs in her belly.
Her behavior hasn't changed since then, except that she eats more heartily.
I have her enclosed in with a big male leopard gecko, that's why I'm
suspicious. I've even provided her with an extra hide box so that if she
was pregnant, she would lay her eggs. I don't think she's egg-bound because
her behavior hasn't changed. She eats and she drinks and prowls around at
night. It could be a possibility though.
I think obesity could be a possibility also because her girth hasn't
changed, and her tail is this huge fat long thing. She lost her tail when
she was younger. I see regular droppings of healthy feces too. Is their
such thing as an obese gecko? She's only about 7 or 8 inches including tail
and weighs about 75 grams. You usually expect that weight to be in a 10 to
11 inch leopard gecko. My male is huge too, but he's proportionate to his
weight. He has very big muscles in his legs and arms. His tail is about an
inch or more think. He's about 10 to 11 inches and weighs about 90 to 100
grams now. I think that's normal for a male leopard gecko.
So the problem is I can't tell if it's just obesity or pregnancy? Can
anyone tell me what to look for in a pregnant leopard gecko?
Sincerely,
Sarah
