Hello,
today i saw something really strange. In less than a week my leopard gecko lost 2/3 of her tail. She is still energetic but her tail is really skinny. She has unfertilized eggs from bit more than a week. I transferred her in separate cage. It has no appetite. I put calcium and some worms for the night. What might be the problem or how can i help her?
Thanks in advance :)

Some geckos lose a lot of weight after laying. Sometimes it takes them a while to start eating again. Try holding her and gently poking a feeder at her mouth and see if you can get her to eat something. I don't know if there are reptile vets where you live, but that may be a good idea as well.

sometimes it takes forever for them to lay. I'm going through this with a fat tail gecko now who has also lost a lot of weight
