big belly on a baby

ed_hunter Jun 04, 2005 04:18 PM

i have a baby had it just over a week and its belly is slowly getting biger and bigger. ive only seen it just after its eaten but its eating realy well and pooping every day. temps are good crickets are dusted and gut loaded. frsh water and calcium dish 3 hides 1 humid on warm end.

is this normal? itseems healthy and alert. its color has faded but its a baby adn ive had it a week and a half so im expecting a shed. it looks kinda white but thats shedding right? its just the fat belly made me a bit concerned.

Can you take a photo of it and post it? It's hard to tell just from just the description.
