Fat pockets under arms....indication of good breeding weight?

RedQuake Feb 19, 2004 11:57 AM

Out of my five girls Dot has started forming the fat bubbles under her arm pits. She was the smallest of the geckos when i bought them so seeing this is just great. Now i haven't been able to get myself a scale yet thus i've put off breeding cause i wasn't sure about any of the girls weights. But since she has these bubbles would you agree that she's up to breeding?

Other than Boo all of my other geckos are approximately 8 months old. I'm thinking this is still a bit young to be breeding them. It would be better for them if i waited until next year, maybe later this year right???

None of my geckos are as large as Boo, i mean he's huge in comparison but some of the girls are getting up there. Dot's tail is so fat i don't think it could get any larger LOL. I'll have to post pics so you all can get an idea.

Oh, Boo may be large but he does not have the fat bubbles under his arms. All of his bult is in his body and tail.

Thanks for the input
