I bought a four year old leo gecko yesterday and i was told by the breeder she may be pregnant due to housing a male with her shortly before i bought it. She doesn't like to be handled or eat her stable diet (crickets) and i don't know if thats just her settling in to her new enclosure, stress, shedding or pregnancy. I read that you can see if they are pregnant by looking at there belly for two balls but i can't seem to find any. Is there any way of telling if she is pregnant this early on and if she is how do i continue trying to feed her even tho she ignores the crickets ? And do i handle her? Any help would be appreciated, thanks

You need to take a picture of her belly. It will help me and others determine if she is gravid or not.

Agreed further in development the eggs will be fairly obvious and the belly of the gecko will swell substantially

Well don't keep throwing crickets in there if she isn't eating them. Keep maybe 5 or so and put a piece of carrot in there for the crickets to nibble on. I wouldn't try handling her especially if she is gravid. Give her a week or so to settle in.

I just took several photos but it was really hard to get a clear shot because i couldn't hold her where her belly was facing up as she kept moving around. I will take a few photos in the next week or so.

The last picture looks like she has some eggs in her. I tilted my laptop screen as it helps with these kind of things and I see two oval white shapes right where the eggs would be

I just titled my laptop as well and i could notice two white ovals, hopefully they are two eggs! I will take a few more photos next week and see if perhaps its more noticeable xD
