Leo Weight Problem

[Nate_Mitchell]

So ive had my leopard gecko Sandy for about 6-7 months and she doesn't seem to be able to pass 25 grams, I feed her everyday large or sometimes giant mealworms(with calcium), her warm side is high eighties to 90 with the cool side being around 80. Please Help

Your temperatures sound ok. Giant mealworms are probably too big for a gecko that size. At that age she should be a voracious eater. How many mealworms does she get at each feeding?

i don't always feed her giant just sometimes when I run out of large and she usually has about 7-13 in her bowl

Be patient and consistent. Do not try and feed and get her heavier as fast as possible. In the end you will just end up with a fat and unhealthy gecko. If this is in attempts to get her ready for breeding you will only hurt yourself in the future. Keep fresh worms in her bowl every 3-4 days with proper supplements and she will gain weight naturally and in a healthy way. Be patient, she will get there. Good luck.

well gamechanger just noticed she has 2 large bulges which would mean she is a male, the thing im worried about is she has grown only 5 grams since ive had (him) which is almost 6 months!
