Prego????

[PhoenixCoconut]

Hi, well during a storm the other day I packed up my geckos placing my male with the female but separated.......he found a way to get out and ran straight to my female when I was down stairs for about 3 min. I come backed up but he is just biting her neck........about 4 days later she's gotten fatter....Heres a pic IDK think she's pre go but I just want to see what you guys think.

Thanks for your time!

That's not the clearest picture... Can you get one with a flashlight of some sort on the other side or something like that? and I had a similar thing occur once and nothing ended up happening so you might not have to worry.

Heres more pics not the best either I don't have any batteries so I just used a light bulb instead of a flash light.

I have no experience with gravid females, but it looks like somethings going on there.

Thanks! I have not done much research should I start?? Should I separate her from her cage mate? Can I have some more opinions??

Thanks!

 

[PhoenixCoconut]

Any thoughts?????? Im really worried!

If I were you I would treat it as a gravid female just incase

 

[PhoenixCoconut]

Ok thanks...............but how do I do that?

 

[PhoenixCoconut]

Anyone else????

You should really look around online to find some caresheets and such. Also I would try to get a stable calcium supplement in her to be safe in case she is gravid (that's the true term for a "pregnant" leo). The calcium will help prevent problems associated with egg trouble and some reliable sites are leopardgecko.com, goreptiles.com, and I'm sure there are some around here in the form of threads and sheets that could help.

So you think she is? Thanks can the calcium have D3?

 

[LIZARDLOVER]

I haven't had too much experience with gravid females before but you should easily be able to find some pictures of gravid females to compare to for some help and I would say be careful with d3 it should be ok just don't over do it.

Thanks!

Dont forget to give her a nice lay box just incase

First things first, lay box with wet coco fiber in it, at least an inch deep, in the enclosure. A dish with pure calcium in the tank. Just go on feeding every day. She'll probably go off her food as she gets close to laying. And a day or two before she lays she'll make a huge mess in her lay box flinging dirt everywhere lol.
Basically, to sum it all up... lay box, calcium dish, lots of food Keeps any gecko happy lol

Just get repashy calcium plus and you won't have to worry about the amount of d3
