Hello! I am a first-time gecko owner, and I have a leopard gecko I named Calypso. I got her from an expo last month. Her previous owners claimed she was three years old and had been bred in the past.
Since I'm new to this, I have two questions regarding her. First, looking at the pics below, does she (especially her tail) look too thin to anyone? The first pic was when I first got her and the second pic was taken a few hours ago. She initially weighed 58 grams but now she weighs 62 grams. I've been feeding her gutloaded mealworms and crickets dusted with calcium and vitamins. She's fairly active and she eats really well.
Second, does she look gravid? I think her lower abdomen has gotten wider in the past week or so. The third pic shows her belly. It might be hard to see, but those white patches look like eggs to me. Plus her sides have more of a pinkish/orangeish hue to them than usual, like there's something under the skin. I just can't say for sure if she really has eggs or if something else is going on.
Anyway, I'm glad I joined this site and I'm excited to learn more about geckos. I'm also curious to see other people's opinions on Calypso's weight and health. Thanks!
