She's a gorgeous leo. Were you told she was gravid when you got her? If she is indeed gravid, you don't need to give her waxworms or pinkies. She looks to be of good healthy weight. Be sure you are supplementing her with plain calcium each feeding and with a vitamin supplement that has D3 in it once a week. Just make sure you feed her as much as she will eat. If you feed her mealworms leave her a small dish of them to eat as she wants and as many crickets as she will eat in a 15-30 minute period. Waxworms and pinkies should not be used unless it is really necessary. I feed my breeding female crickets & superworms and had no weight problems with her.

You'll want to be sure and keep an eye on her humid hide every day to see if she's buried any eggs. My female always buries her eggs in the bottom at one end then piles up all the substrate over them and lays on it. I use Eco-Earth, shredded coconut fiber, in her humid hide/laying box. So it's pretty easy for me to see that she's laid. They will usually lays a clutch of eggs every 3-4 weeks. So if she is gravid she could be about ready.

Oh yeah, you can still handle her when she's gravid you won't hurt the eggs
