i think my cousins gecko is pregnant, i asked for a pic today and immediately noticed a bulge in her belly. I was there when he got her and she didn’t look like this, i asked when she started looking like this and he said about 5 days ago, is she pregnant or just fat? IMG_5280.jpeg

If you look at her belly, if she's "gravid" (that's what you call an egg layer when it's pregnant), you'll see two white ovals. If you google "gravid leopard gecko" you can see illustrations. Unless you're in the southern hemisphere, it's not really breeding season. If the female has never been with a male, it could lay infertile eggs.

Yeah that’s what I thought, I warned my cousin about her laying infertile eggs, but neither of us were expecting her to be/look like she’s gravid so soon. Hopefully it’s not impaction, I can’t tell because my cousin doesn’t want to scare her by picking her up. I’ll try to convince him to check today.
