ok i just started breeding my leo she was eating regularly and great weight she is 2 years old and this is her first time breeding. her first egg was really nice but she quit eating. i've read about them not eating when they are about to lay but she didn't eat after she layed the egg and now about a week and a couple days later when i woke up today i had another egg. this egg is about half the size of the first egg. (she is only laying one at a time??) She still doesn't seem like she is going to eat anything. i have her housed with the male everything else is exactly like it was without him. in fact i haven't seen him eat either. but i do see 2 different poops in different corners but if they are eating it's not much. i could use some help in getting these guys to eat. the male doen't bother he unless she walks into a hide that he is already in but she just says "NO" and then they are ok. any advice/help would be greatly appreciated.

Well,
its normal for a first year breeder to lay one egg at a time. I wouldnt worry about it too much. Just leave a dish of mealworms in with them at all times. And feed them crickets twice a week on top of that. Seperate them to decrease the risk of stress and they should do fine.

she will be ok, sometimes their first laying season is like that. They will lay one egg and sometimes throw a infertile or weird egg. A couple of mine will not eat at all when laying that is why you want them good and fat a couple months with no food really thins them down.

i actully saw her eat a mealworm today and the bowl looks emptier so i think it's all good. she is still fairly fat even with not eating for a while. thanks for all the advice
