So, a week ago I picked up a Female ember at a show. Shes nice and fat with a big fat tail and looked pretty healthy to me. She has yet to eat anything but hasn't lost weight and i figured she would take a week or two to start eating anyway. Im not sure if she was housed with or near a male before I purchased her. I got her with the intent of breeding her with the male i have but they are in separate cages in separate rooms of the house for now. Once i found this site and read the how to on telling if shes gravid i looked because she seemed so fat and from what i can tell(although I'm very inexperienced with leos) it looks like she is carrying eggs. I've never owned another female leo though so I don't really know what a non gravid female would look like if she is indeed gravid. Thanks for any help.

Okay....what I was thinking were eggs you can see in the picture of her belly...I'm guessing she's just fat then....hopefully she eats something within the next week or so.
