Ok, I originally had this crazy long post so I'm going to try and shorten it...
First off, a while ago I bought a new baby leo (I had actually forgotten to take pictures when I got him/her haha). I isolated it for 3 months with the tank next to Pidge's (my original gecko) and eventually did an introduction; all went well and they eventually moved in to a 40 gallon breeder together. They are about the same age I presume, 5-6 months.
I do biweekly checks on their pores to see if they're developing pores or bulges... Pidge has been looking female lately, and the last two times I checked Rufus (my newer gecko) had developed small bulges, but over a couple of weeks nothing changed, and I presumed it was just a bulgy girl, so I left him/her in the same enclosure as Pidge.
Anyways, lately I've noticed Pidge hasn't been eating much (some days not at all) but I assumed it was because of the season... Except a few days ago she's just stopped eating superworms altogether. I'm not going to worry too much yet, as I plan to try some crickets with her first. She's still got her fat tail and looks healthy.
I also noticed today that when I set her back down in her tank, her stomach was a little big and almost weighted, closer to the ground:
She's a little bigger on the sides too.
And here are some pictures of her stomach, the best I could get haha... sorry! And in the second one I know it looks like she's missing a toe on her right back foot, but it's just the position.
Please let me know what you guys think! And thanks for any help
