Anyone else have an overweight gecko?? ? She has eggs now but she's always big like that even without eggs.? She will hog down all the cgd so i have to put in extra so the others can get some.? She is almost 38 grams without her tail, gained close to 10 grams this past month.

She's only fed 3-4 times a week.  The same as the others but she's the only one that big.  She was big when i first got her too, just after her feeding she get's huge like this.

they get crickets once a week.  It's not that she's not active.  It's just that she eats soo much at one time.

If you need to you could always seperate her and feed her less

but i can see how that would be a problem because you obviouly want to breed her b/c she is a great gecko.
