where do i begin....
I currently have a male and a female. both about a year old.. Love them both.
Female: 28-32G
male: 33-35G
live in the same vivarium.

Female:

lump?!?!?!!: so the lady at the pet-store told me that normal sand was a good idea... also just a sh!tty 25W canopy was a good idea and they DO NOT need a UBH (Under belly heating) now im assuming she has a intestinal blockage.. its a rather large lump where her tail and body meet... on the top.. she doesnt poop very often and seems rather lazy... ive replaced the sand with gecko carpet and got a UBH which is about 85-95F. Vet? or is there an easier fix. (PS i tried using the warm bath trick, didnt work)

Behavioral: she keeps running around in circles every so often. backing up and shaking her head. for the first 2-3 months i had her she didnt even come out of her hide. what does all this mean?!?


Underweight: she is about 28-30G the boy is about 35-40G and he keeps getting her pregnent.. trust me im working on getting them seperated but in this town everything is a million bucks... but i just need to know, will she die if she has a clutch of eggs? or is there just a fertility issue? (theyre both about a year old)


Male:

Another male: so for my girlfriends one year i bought her a leo (male). of course the pet-store told me they would be fine together. NOPE of course not. He Is constantly a bully to her. he keeps knocking her up and getting her to lay eggs... Im assuming this problem would be best fixed by separating them?

other than that the male is fine..




Please, help would be VASTLY appreciated. i know a lot of you will think i'm naive but i did base most of my knowledge off the pet-store lady at the time.. ive been doing my best to find other answers online but i think its time to just ask rather than read other poeples questions.. thank you so much for reading please if you have knowledge of any of these problems i would be greatly appreciated on how to treat..

Yes, your first priority should be separating them. Overbreeding is not good for any female, never mind one that is young and underweight.

Here's a basic caresheet that explains the simpliest and safest way to set up leopard geckos:
Leopard Gecko Care Guide - Leopard Geckos For Sale - Quality Gecko Breeder - Fair Prices - Tremper - Bell - Rainwater - Giant - Mack Snow - Albino - Tangerine - Fattail

The female may require vet attention if she has a blockage. It's difficult to say without pictures; she might also be suffering from some sort of deformity.

You'll get more assistance posting in the correct forum rather than this chat forum:
Leopard Gecko Forum

The Health and Medications forum would probably be a good choice.
