too rapid of weight gain?

[BrightReptiles]

Would gaining weight too rapidly cause a Leo to not be able to keep itself up for long periods? This is about the reverse stripe I got from Natalie here on the forums, she told me she had it 3 weeks and it was 37 grams when she got it. In 3 weeks it has jumped to 53 grams and to me appears overweight. She is up and active when put on the bed but in her cage or my hand she rarely lifts herself off the ground.

Doesn't look overweight to me, I'm a fan of big and healthy. If the room your in is cold, she's probably just like the warmth of your hand and the heat source of your enclosure.

The temp in the room is always between 79+82 and the warm side is 90-95. She's always in a cold hide.

And its the opposite, in the cage or being handles she seems super lazy and when I put her on my bed she comes alive, lol.

i remember a thread about her before and there was a question on whether she was gravid. Do you know if she could be gravid?

She currently does not appear gravid.

My leos nearly 7, currently 74g and she just seems to lay out in the open inbetween hot and cold side. Also just like yours, once out on the bed or on my hands she runs about exploring. Full of Beans lol. Put her back in the tank and she resumes her lazing.

Your leos beautiful btw, she looks really healthy
