Not Laying!!

[RocksMama77]

Ok so I am very confused right now. My female is gravid(about 95%sure of this) she is eating a roach every few days. I offer more often but she is not interested. She was with the male back in December. I am now getting concerned about her being egg bound. She has shed every two weeks on average since I got her and believe or not she is like 5 years old. What are the signs of being egg bound? I have given her warm baths mainly because she is a lazy shedder. Her weight is good and her behavior is no different. Is it possible that she stored the sperm for a while and is now just forming eggs?

I am so sorry I am so ignorant!!! This is my first gecko pregnancy and it was unexpected. Any and all info would be appreciated.

Need to post a belly pic for us to get a better idea

I can't find my usb cable, Arghh. But I compared to a pregnant belly on line and the pics were pretty identical. Got 2 second opinions too.

Sometimes it takes them an awful lot longer to form the eggs and lay than you can imagine. My leos have been mating with the males for at least the last 6 weeks and I can see signs of ovulation, and maybe eggs, but no leo has laid yet!

She is frustrating me to no end. It wouldn't be so bad if she would quit shedding so I don't have to harass her all the time trying to get the shed off. I am so worried she will become egg bound from me stressing her out by soaking her.

Sometimes they shed right before laying eggs so that may be a sign

I wish it was she is a constant shedder. She sheds at least once a month. Is that normal for her being full grown?

yes shedding once a month is normal but it just depends on the gecko... if shes still eating and pooping then she most likely not egg bound.
