someone gave me a pair of leopard geckos, and i think the female is pregnant. the male will not get anywhere near her. when i get her out she makes a noise so i put her back in there. lol. i know that if she is pregnant you can knida make the eggs out if you look at her tummy. but please if you can give me some info or a link that can help me out.

thanks

The first step is if they are together, please seperate them. If she does have eggs and they are living together, the stress of the male being there could cause her to become egg bound.

If they are big like that you should seperate her from the male and provide a laying site. I think you can use moistened sphagnum moss in a tubberware container, like a humid hide. I've never bred them before so I wouldn't know the best thing to use. I do know they like to lay them in moist areas and if a moist laying box isn't provided then they will sometimes drop them in the water bowl.

If she is getting lethargic and weak, you should take her to the veterinarian. I've had a female become egg bound before and she ultimately died of it. It's not a nice thing to go through.
