its nothing serious but i have noticed that when my Blizzard eats her tongue pushes out while she trys to pull the food in obviously causing the food to fall out. Any thoughts on the reason for this or has anyone ever noticed this with their leos?

nobody knows anything about this? It does kinda affect her eating so i would kinda like any thoughts on this anything at all would be appreciated

Overbite/underbite?

How is her size/weight?

 

[LeopardLunatic]

shes kinda long and skinny atm she ways 50 grams but i wanna add more bulk to her and no no under/overbite

If she weighs 50 grams, then something must be getting into her tummy! LOL!

 

[LeopardLunatic]

she may even weigh more than 50 too because i have a scale that reads in 0.00 kilograms so i kinda only get grams in multiples of 10

Well I know that sometimes if the gecko hasn't gotten a good hold of the prey when they first snap it up they sty to get it better in their mouth by pushing it out a bit with the tongue and then snapping it back up again. Some have more skill at this than others. She sounds in good weight, though. Maybe if you get a video?

Exactly what Alusdra said I agree with. It's a skill it seems she has yet to master maybe. I have a female that constantly tries to position what is in her mouth. Like Marcia stated, if she's 50+ grams she's doing just swell.
