My female is gravid, in the last week she's been having these large like brown poops. Almost like discolored. This morning I was checking for eggs and I realized she had the same kind of poop but in like chunks....(ewwwww) anyway Should I take her to the vet? I fed her a pinky like 5 days ago

You can have the vet preform a fecal on those samples, (about $12.00 in the U.S.). What better oppertunity to see what's going on with your gecko? Good Luck!

update: I put four crix in the tank without calci powder she didn't eat them so I tried to put some calci powder on them and spilled a little she immediately went over to the calci powder and started licking it... After this I put a bowl of calcium in the tank I think im going to take her to the vet this saturday if she's still bad....

Did you not have a bowl of calcium in there already? I always do, but especially if they are gravid... they need access to extra calcium to form the eggs.

No I didn't have it in already I had been dusting every feeding though... I thought that she might eat if the crix didn't have the calcium on them

The poop could just be from the food she ate, but I agree a fecal can't hurt. Has it happenned again since then? Has she eaten anything else yet?
