I'm hoping so. I mean she eats and everything fine. At first I worried because she wouldn't chase crickets only eat mealies but now she is on the prowl for crix. And like I saids he comes out to play at night.. I catch her!

The dark area is your gecko's liver, and sometimes you will see a small black spot which is the gall bladder. Internal organs tend to show through the skin of babies much more than adults.

That is one sick looking loe. What's wrong with it? I can tell starvation and dehydration are what has caused it's appearance, but what caused the starvation and dehydration?

Poor little thing! Even still, the dark area you see in the abdomen of this juvie is it's liver. When they are very sick and have been off food for long time, their body's fat reserves become mobilized and the liver gets clogged trying to process it and swells up. This causes hepatic lipidosis, or fatty liver disease, which proves fatal in cases like this.

Babies are pretty transparent, You can see their insides much more so then you can with adlt.
it is most likely organs,food,and feces. If you look after she uses the bathroom it will likly be smaller.
I wouldn't be worried if she is eating like a pig and gaining weight.
