Great improvement! The tail is definitely fatter already :main_yes: Looks like a female. Just look under its tail--if you don't see those two big bulges, you have a girl! It's old enough to tell And it probably wants a name

Thanks chrissy Well I had named it Rocco (thinking it was a male) Theres definitely no bulges so I guess you're right. I suppose I shall start looking for another name :main_cool3: . I was also wondering, she always like stays hungry I think..every time i feed her she wants more. Im feeding her every day a variety of crickets, and meal worms. How much should she eat every night? (considering her tail was really skinny) :main_huh:

You should give her as many crickets/meal worms as she will actively hunt after. Leopard geckos tend to know when they have had enough.

I tried that about 3 nights ago...she ended up eating about 16 or 17 crickets (which is when i decided to stop, if not she would have eaten more)..isnt that too much!?

It depends on the size of the crickets, and on the leo. My leo will only eat a maximum of 4 medium to large sized crickets a day, on the other hand my boyfriend's leo will eat easily 8 large crickets a day (more depending on the day). If you are feeding her 16-17 medium to small sized crickets a day, it can be between 4-9 large crickets. Just watch her, if she stops chasing after the crickets, gains interest but won't follow them as far, or will only attack ones that are right next to her, she has had enough, until then feed away.
