Fat Sacks behind females front legs?

Johnstud56 Jan 30, 2004 12:45 PM

Is this healthy or does it mean shes ready to breed? They just look like puffy sacks.

That means she is fat and happy, a sign of a very well fed gecko

:P

She is probably ready to breed, what is her weight/age?

Johnstud56 Jan 30, 2004 12:54 PM

I dont know her age, she weighs about 100 grams

paradisio Jan 30, 2004 01:03 PM

Thats about twice the breeding size lol, she can if she isn't really old.

Johnstud56 Jan 30, 2004 01:04 PM

Shes about 2 years old I believe.

Big girl, I think 2-3 are prime breeding years for egg production

Hi

It say's that they are healthy. As for the breeding part, it depends on age and weight as far as a safe time for breeding them.

Take Care, TLB

Hi

I have females that are four and still egging really good.

I read in a book once (don't remember which one now), that a female can egg up until around eight years of age and then around that time she kind of dry's up inside as far as not being able to lay anymore,
