das408851 May 02, 2004 04:41 PM

I have this gecko who is about two years old {I think} and she has laid about 6 clutch's of eggs this this year so far. The problem is that she has lost about 10 grams in the process,she eats really good and eats calcium solo also.She is down to 35 grams should i be worried and seperate her from the others?Please help!!!!!!

its great that she eats great and lays many clutches but its taking a great tole on her body...i would be worried when she drops 10g....i usually alternate years to breed my female...breeders and egg-layers usually ahve a noticeably shorter lifespan...i suggest u seperate her...

Hi

Yes, I would seperate her from the others at this point, if nothing else than to bulck her up in weight, and also so she doesn't have to compete for her food with the others in the tank. If you dont already, make sure she is being feed everyday.
