My scales are about 20g out (need some new ones) but I reckon shes about 200g ish...and I think my little man is about 145-150g. I should really stop referring to him as my little man, its probably a bit weird..... |

ok so the main problem of them being overweight is it can cause Pancreatitis and make them very ill. Best thing if you are worried is to pop her to vet - can have bloods for check for pancreatitis and do quick xray to check she not gravid. Shouldnt cost too much but will give you peace of mind _________________ Sophxx

Yeah I may do hthat. I have a really good herp vet, funnily enough I took 2 leos there last week because they wont eat and are underweight...so I turn up this week with one fat ackie! Brilliant
She is happy enough, I just don't understand why she has got fatter even though we have removed all rodents from her diet and cut down her intake....she seems particularly large compared to Barney, who hasn't a bit of fat on him, hes all muscle...
Thanks guys |

She does look rather plump.
Are you sure her cage mate isn't a male?

She hasn't had a cagemate since feb. Our male is housed seperatly and we are told she was housed with a younger female before. Hmmm, may have to get her xrayed and see if there are any eggs! |
