Is this female gravid?

[tessla98]

I was wondering if one of my females was gravid or just a little overweight?

Okay but what the ****, why would you hold her BY THE TAIL. UPSIDE DOWN. you're lucky she didn't drop her tail. You could've just put her in a clean container and looked at her from below. Like, I just don't understand why you thought that was a good idea...

To the above... Many people do this, myself included. It's the best way to get a look at the underside. I've never had one come close to dropping a tail. The geckos front feet are still on a solid surface, so I don't see a problem.

To the OP: Has she been with a male?

Has she been paired.. And many people hold them by the tail to look for eggs and ovulations.

Yes she's been with a male since around the beginning of December

Then it's indeed possible. It's hard to tell from the pictures. Keep a moist laybox for her and watch for things like digging.

It's pretty early for a lot of geckos (none of mine are ovulating yet), but some start earlier than others.

Ok thank you!
