Yeeeesh, I missed this before I posted on your other thread! Was she housed with males? Her tail looks awfully thin, and her belly looks very swollen. I would get her to a reputable reptile vet, she doesn't look quite right to me! My guess is either gravid, a heavy parasite load, or impaction. Either way, she needs vet attention if for nothing else, for peace of mind!
Try www.herpvetconnection.com or ARAV redirect to find a reptile/exotics vet near you.

THE CHUB lol

It's just weird for geckos to be soo chubby without the tail being bigger. I know it's expensive and it sucks, but I would second going to the vet. She really does look heavily gravid or something.

I took her to the vet this morning and they said she was fine she is not gravid she does not have any parasites. I found out that from the breeder that she was born with a big belly not to sure why that was. But she is very healthy the vet said she will be just fine I whent to my herp vet he is the best.

That's good

I have a leo that I bought from a petstore that has that same proportion. Her tail stays at a constant thickness and she obviously stores her fat in her midsection. She is a little small for her age, which we're trying to correct, but she's always been chubbier in her torso. I guess geckos can be like people, we all gain weight in different ways.

Just make sure you watch that waist line

Yeah she is a great eater and she is a very friendly girl she is pooing and eating and thats what is important. If she was not doing that then I would have something to worry about big time.
