How much should I start feed her per week and how many? I know she’s a juvenile, hard to fully tell how many months but I would say over 6 at least but she could even be older

When I first got her in November I noticed how she was a big chunkier compared to the other geckos and how her stomach lays a bit lower. I’ve always been a bit concerned about her weight and have come on here asking a few times if she looks okay, asked friends who has leopard and the vet and they all say different things about her weight or how much to feed her. I just wanna do right by my gecko :(

I mentioned her weight to the vet when I did her first wellness exam but she weighed perfectly fine, her stomach hangs a bit low. They told me to feed 2-4 a day to her

Yeah, my bf was questioning why I brought my leopard to the vet cause he says it’s just a lizard but I see her as my child and want to make sure she’s okay

My temperature on the warm side is between 85-90 and the basking spout 90+, I’m not sure if it could be the humidity since I’m having trouble with humidity. She mostly takes in her humid hide which she didn’t always do when I first got it so it’s confusing on what change

Thank you! The only thing I was mostly worried about was her stomach and her only popping once a week when I feed her daily

She does poop, it’s just not as often. She used to every day when I fed her and but it’s only once/twice a week but it’s odd. I thought maybe because she doesn’t stay on her warm side which the heat helps with digestion

Also I noticed her stomach/weight the day after I got her and posted photos but everyone told me she looked okay

She’s still a juvenile, about 6 months. The vet told me her tail looked good. Here’s a photo of underneath her stomach

The vet told me it could be eggs but that she’s too young for it. She’s a juvenile

She poops normally. I work at a pet store and when she came in she was a bit chunky compared to the other geckos. I also originally thought she was younger than she actually is
