Hello,

My female doesn't eat much anymore. At night when I check her humid hide I can see that she has dug. And I think that I can see some beig spots in her (through her belly) but that i'm not sure. Do the always have these small beig spots (2) under them?

About 4 weeks ago I tried to put her with my male but things didn't work out between both of them so I seperated them.

Could they have bred even if they had little fights?

How can I make sure she is gravid?

Thanks!

they usualy eat when pregnant (but that could just be my fat pig gecko!!!!). U could weight her and see if her wieght increases in weeks. But mine become restless and dig huge holes in humidifided areas.
By fights do u mean he bites her cuz if so they are suppose 2 do that, he bites her neck ect

they couldn't come close or they would try to bite each other. It wasn't the usual breeding ritual.

Aurora always stops eating a week before she lays. Mating happens in seconds, biting if usually the "foreplay" . They probably mated and you just didn't see it. :/

she may be getting close have you put in a nesting box for her. My 6 females usually only dig when they are ready to lay. Or for a day or two after. But thats my leos...

Take a pic from underneath her and from above her and we should be able to tell you if she is gravid or not. If she hasn't already laid! Got an incubator set up?
