Hi, my female has just finished laying her 4th clutch a couple days ago, so I'm going tonight to get her her very first pinky. Just was wondering if I should get some supers to go along with it or will the pinky fill her up completely? Never seen a pinky before so i wasnt sure how big they are. Also as i said my female is on her 4th clutch, do you think she'll stop there? If not how many more clutches should she have about? Thanks for any help,
MaC

A day old pinky should fill her up nicely. If she has laid 4 she is doing good. She could lay up to 10 or 12 clutches but that is extreme usually out of older breeders.

I completely agree with Geeboo, but I also think that it varies from leo to leo. For example, my gravid female just laid her 3rd clutch, and she ate a pinky right after laying. Then she ate 6 supers. Another female that I have got filled up on one pinky. So, it varies from leo to leo.

I fed her the pinky, she took it right away. Then she had 2 supers so shes got a nice full belly
