Hey guys,
I hate to be posting this if someone else did but I couldn't find anything about it. I looked through a bunch of threads and pictures of the underside of leopard geckos and didn't really see anything similar.

My girl Spots (about 9 months to a year old) is doing fine. i know I had a thread about her not eating (turned out to be ovulation) but she's eating fine now and whatnot. All her behaviour is fine aswell but I did notice a dark spot on her underside. I posted it before with my thread about her not eating and others just said it's the liver. But I just wanted to know how big and visible this "liver" usually is on other geckos. Hers is quite large and is black and blue (like a bruise) and it covers basically her whole underside. I keep trying to get a picture but it's not showing very well on my camera. It does appear to be getting bigger though. Is this normal? I looked up some signs of Crypto but nothing seemed to match except the darken liver part. Everything seems to be fine and normal. Any ideas for me to research?

The only reason why I worry is because it's a rather large dark spot. Takes up almost the entire underside and I have yet to see anyone else's underside that way. But you stil think that's okay? ANyone else? I just want alot of people to confirm that it's okay in order to relax...lol

Also what morph is she? I have two albinos and one leo, and the dark spot on the bellies of the albinos much darker; I think this is just because their skin is much paler tho. If your girl is pale skinned, that might have an effect.
