Hey I'm new and I'm freaking out. (IPod auto correct changed breathing to breaking)
Today my leo, Rocknar, shed. After she was done I took her out and helped her peel the loose skin off her feets.[I know not to tug on skin that is still firmly attached. She is missing toes for unknown reasons from her previous owner and I don't want her to lose more]
She is a very jumpy gecko and I was holding her still.
I didnt think I was holding her to tight cause she could still wiggle free and she could expand her lungs all the way.
But now she seems to be taking really deep breaths, while my other gecko, mittens, isn't.
Help?
Also she looks like she has eggs? Her tummy is really big. Like almost touching the ground when she walks. Anything on that??

if she is gravid you will be able to see the eggs through the skin on her belly. and it is possible for female leos to produce eggs without breeding. they usually will lay them or re-absorb them. if you post some clear pics of her belly we should be able to tell you if she's gravid or not.

Her belly looks normal. I'd post a pic but my parents took my computer so I would stop staying up so late. Good thing for iPods.
Anyway should I be alarmed about her breathing??

Her breathing to me, with out seeing it, just sounds like the deep breathing an upset gecko would do. Video would help :) btw she lost toes from her previous owner likely because of bad sheds that were left on her toes that constricted blood flow and killed the toe tips.
