I picked up a beautiful dark blizzard female from Repticon, and to my surprise she happened to be pregnant! I came to check on her after dinner and found two white eggs on either side of the tank. I unfortunately had to dispose of them as I don't have the space for more geckos.
Anyways, I noticed after my leo laid her eggs that she became very tired and sleepy, and also drinking lots of water when she would get up from time to time. Also I noticed that she's been a little wobbly when she walks, perhaps that is from the sudden weight loss of the eggs? She was moving normally when I brought her home and was eager to explore. She is on the thin side, but not skeletal. I haven't gotten her to eat yet, but between laying eggs, being stuck in a small plastic sale cup at Repticon, and then moving into a new home is probably very stressful.
Along with the water, I left her a little bowl of mealworms and a small dish of calcium with D3; I know females that are/were gravid need the extra calcium so I left some just in case.
I've only had her for a day so I'm sure I'm worrying more than I should, but I do want her to be happy and healthy.
