Hi, I recently bought 2 new female leopard geckos a few weeks ago in the hope of breeding them with my males when they reach a bigger size.
I'm having a problem as one of them is no longer eating, in fact she has barely eaten since I got her. She ate 1 locust on the day I got her then she refused any food for about a week and then ate 8 mealworms and since then she hasn't eaten at all so it's around 1-2 weeks since she last ate.
She is housed on her own and I have provided her with 2 moist hides with moss as I believe she may have eggs due to the pictures I have taken of her. I haven't had her in any contact with a male though since I got her and at the pet shop there was only those 2 female in that tub although I suppose there may have been a male in at some point I can't be certain. Also she was on sand at the pet shop, but I don't believe she is impacted and I am keeping all my geckos on paper towel. I would be surprised if she had an egg though as it isn't even the season yet, my other females usually lay around April-May.
I'll attach some photos of her, I gave her a warm bath this morning for around 30 mins to hopefully help her get hydrated and encourage her to lay if she does have an egg. Her tail is also quite thin although it's been like this since I got her. Please look at the pics and tell me what you think. Thank you.
