Is there something wrong with her belly?

[AFireInside]

Here is a pic of maggie's belly. She is a month old. Is it supposed to look like this. I have no clue what a healthy leopard gecko belly looks like. .

I've never seen a geckos belly that way. I think there might be something wrong. I have never worked with babies before, so wait for someone more experienced to come along before making any judgements. I hope she turnes out ok! Keep us updated!

substrate? cage temps?

She is on soil. Her cage during the day is bewteen 85-88. At night between 75-77

What do you think is wrong???

I'd take her off the soil and put her on paper towels. She's a little too young to be on loose substrate, if that's what you intend to use when she's an adult. The blue spot is generally the liver, but she does look a little too red in the middle. Try to keep the temps betwee 88 and 90F.

I thought so too but that's her skin. It's actually a light brownish spot. I'm worried about the white area? what is that?

I would say nothing to worry about. I went and looked at a few of my hatchlings, and they all have transparent bellies. I cannot seem to hold them and get a pic. But I would say the red is more than likely, just because she has more blood flow there. But honestly I don’t know. I wouldn’t worry about it if I was you. But if you continue to worry, I would at least call the vet, and ask them. Better safe than sorry.

Having baby leopard geckos on any type of loose substrate( soil, sand, bark, ect....) could cause them to get impacted. Paper towels and newspaper are the best to use when that young. When they reach 20+ grams I use reptile carpet in my tanks.

John has it. Get that baby on some nice soft paper towel! Her tummy looks normal to me. Our babies have the same exact tummies.
