My 10 year old female, Benjamin, is apparently gravid with infertile eggs, but instead of laying them, she just continues to get skinnier. She has never laid eggs before, and I'm not sure whether or not this is normal. She hasn't eaten in at least three and a half weeks. I took her to her...
Yes, she is rather plump. She was fairly recently switched from mealworms to crickets, so the weight is slowly coming off.

I basically trimmed the handle off of a small wicker basket and lined it with a beanie hat.
Benjamin just got a terrarium upgrade. She was being housed in a 20g tall tank for a while after her old 20g long cracked during cleaning (I left the UTH on! :( ) She now has a new tank with a new under tank heater and an overhead ceramic heater.

My leopard gecko, Benjamin (female), refuses to eat anything other than mealworms. I am somewhat concerned for her health, because I have heard that mealworms alone are a bad diet choice. I have tried to feed her crickets, superworms, and silkworms, but she refuses to eat any of them. Roaches...
My female leopard gecko has not been eating much lately. For the past four months, she has only eaten two to three mealworms every two weeks or more. Still, she has not lost any weight, so I haven't been concerned.
Today she excitedly ate three mealworms, but ten minutes later I came back into...
