Do you still have the other female???....you can give this one a pinky every couple weeks...that should get her weight up. otherwise just feed her well.

she is same size as my other leo same size as my juvi i think she just the fattest of the bread and my other female is the medium of the litter. and of course i still got my other female, now i got 3 leos,1 male=gax 2 females, 1 baby, other 1 Roxy i am so exsided.. wat about super worms ? cause it dont look like her eyes wide enough yet to take on a pinky.... and wat else do i need to know ?

if she's not big enough to take a pinky, whoever had her before you should have made absolutely sure she wasn't bred.

breeding too small can be a big problem when it comes time for her to lay the eggs. Keep a close eye on her and if she goes over 4-6 weeks without laying I'd suggest taking her to a vet.

As for food, some really good gutloaded supers or mealies will help, and maybe a few waxies every week or two for some added fatty goodness

If you are having so many problems with your other leos, don't you think it is a little irresponsible to get another animal, when you can't care for the ones you have already? Just my opinion though. If the leo IS pregnant, it should be laying soon if it was bred two weeks ago. It will lay multiple clutches of 2 around two weeks between each one. You will need an incubator for the eggs and a humid hide for her to lay them in. You can make a homemade incubator too, if you search on the internet, you can find directions for quite a few. The eggs should be incubated between 80 and 90 degrees depending on what sex you want the hatchlings to be. 80-82 for females, 84-86 for a mix of males and females, and 88-90 for males. I think I covered everything, if you have any more q's just ask. Good Luck!
