Hi guys I am a first time gecko owner but have had and o have other reptiles. I noticed that me female leo has has a bit of a swollen stomach and I think she might be pregnant. Now she is kept with a male so obviously this would happen.

She has went off her food today andyesturday and I am starting to get increasingly worried. She is around 7 months and so is the male but I could be wrong.

I have no experience with pregnant anythings and need some help. I don't know if she is pregnant or not but she is moving around and is still alert and awake.

There is a liquid that is clear that occasionally drips from her bottom but not sure what it is. I am ringing the vet tomorrow morning but just want to make sure she is ok. Any help would be greatful, thanks

Here are some pics of her, hopefully someone can tell me what is wrong with her :(

Welcome to GF!
She may be gravid, it's hard to tell from the pictures. If she and the male are really only 7 months old, they are too young to be bred. It's kind of like 13 year old humans breeding. I recommend that you ring the vet and bring her in, and separate them until next breeding season.

I agree with the previous comments. I would like to add though that you should give her a lay box just in case she is gravid because without having a suitable place to lay females can actually get egg bound.
