One obvious and common telltale sign of an overweight leopard gecko would be armpit bubbles. These small bubbles seem to just pop up almost overnight. They are usually seen behind a leg and could seem like something to be concerned about should you not be familiar with them.
Leopard geckos also store fat on their tails. The gecko’s tail has to appear thick and nice but should not be wider than your pet’s head. The legs also must not appear like little sausages and the belly must not appear too round. And since it might be challenging to determine if a pet gecko is over its ideal weight, try monitoring your pet’s weight.
Keep in mind that leopard geckos eat diets composed mostly of insects. There are keepers that try to feed the larger specimens with mealworms and sometimes even a pinkie mouse as a complement to the usual crickets that are gut-loaded. Should you notice your pet’s weight climbing, you will want to change the gecko’s diet to exclusively crickets until its ideal weight returns.
Using a gram scale could help in recording your pet’s weekly weights, in turn, helping you to determine any trends, whether up or down, to your pet’s weight.
Your pet’s diet is one of the important concerns that you should discuss with your vet Fort Myers, FL during your pet’s wellness checks.
