My fat lady

[kimmu]

I figured I may as well join a forum to talk with other gecko owners.

I have one gargoyle who was gifted to me by a friend who breeds them, and because I have a one eyed cat, felt compelled to bring home the lady with one good eye when I saw her. I hadn't really thought about gargoyles since most of my research prior had been for leopards, but gargoyles are now my absolute fave. I love their little dragon faces.

Odin was born with a blown pupil. I'm not sure if she's blind in her left eye or not since it's completely black at all times, but it doesn't seem to bother her. She's also kinda fat from what I understand, but I do check regularly to make sure her belly is soft and no, she really is just fat. Her last weigh in was 79g

I'd love to get another some day with a different color morph since I really enjoy the variation they have.

Welcome to GU and Gargoyle Love!
I too have a very strong love of this species and find them at the top of my favorite list.
It certainly seems like you've got a chunk on your hands. Females tend to be a little on the heavier side. 80 grams isn't unusual.
It's interesting that her eye hasn't ever functioned. I'd say as long as she's still eating (obviously- lol) and doing things as usual, she's all good. Just out of curiosity, Has she ever shown interest in insects or been able to hunt them?

I've never offered her insects because she clearly has no issues with weight and eats her repashy with gusto. If I ever do, I'll have to keep an eye to see if I can catch if she looks for them with the one side and how she goes about it.
