I'm still new to these geckos, but enjoying them and learning a lot thanks to you all. :main_yes:
One of my girls is around one year old. She is a RAVENOUS eater. She will eat 7-8 crickets, plus 12-15 large mealworms on any given day. In just the first 3 weeks I had her she gained 7 grams! (and still going, I just haven't weighed her.) At last weigh in she was 56 grams. Her tail is huge and she now as of yesterday has calcium pockets under her arms.
She may be ovulating, being new to this I'm not sure. We're hoping for eggs and I do want to make sure she's at a nice weight.
But am I feeding her too much? She gained weight so quickly, but I'm thinking maybe she was quite underweight (49g when I bought her).
To me, she looks good, but she's still on a roll.
