She started getting really big out of nowhere, and her stomach got really huge. I figured she was pregnant since shes normally fast and hard to hold, but now she basically waddles or walks slow. I did research and it showed pictures of a pregnant female geckos stomach, and it looks just like hers. Her behavior is different around my male gecko, shes always with him now. Heres the picture, is that the sacks?

  1. i think the gecko is pregnant. Everything points to that. The stomach is enlarged. I would think it is pregnant. You'll have some baby geckos soon!

  2. Yep, those look like developing eggs.  Takes about 3 wks.  She'll drop those two, and about 3 wk. later, 2 more, up to 20 in a season.

    But OMG, I can't believe you were holding her by her tail and it didn't break off!  That's really not a good idea, especially as she's developing eggs and needs those fat reserves in that tail!

    Make sure she has calcium with D3 in a shallow bowl in the habitat (if she's not taking it from the bowl, make sure you coat all her prey insects with it, and feed it to them, too).  Egg laying is very depleting on a female gecko.

    Enjoy doing all those lil mini habitats, and feeding that hungry horde.  lol  Baby geckos can really put away the crickets.

    Congrats.  You're about to become a 'grandma' (unless you don't plan to incubate).

  3. Yes your gecko is pregnant.

  4. from the looks of the pic i believe she is.my female leapord gecko has become pregnant a couple of times and that is what it looks like.make sure that if you want them to hatch you have to have them between 82 and 85 degrees for a female and 87 to 91 for a male.  

  5. maybe. We bred our geckos. This is what you do, you put sand in a little plastic bin with a top, that she can climb into and can fit into your cage for her. put it right above the heater, and then get an incubator for the babies! Also ask a pet5 store or some of what to do, BUT GET THE PLASTIC BIN IN THERE SOON!!!!!

  6. I beleive so my darling.
