Signs of Pregnancy

Sorry to ask such a stupid question but i know nothing about leos and my friend wants to know what are some signs that a female is pregnant. Thanks for your toleration.

well, due to their nicely translucent belly skin, you can and will see eggs developing. They will appear as most likely two white ovals, one on each side, just in front of the hips. hope that helps, its nearly impossible to get a good pic of it.

not that impossible..

WHOA!! sorry for that huge pic!

Hey guys, in my research, I found this site that helped inform me about Leo Breeding, Egg Development and Hatchling Care. Look under ther "Producing Eggs" section for a pic.

What's the dark pink spot in between the two eggs?

the gecko he has pictured is about ready to lay anytime,, the pink spot is ovulation (the long white elongated areas on each side of the belly are the eggs.) where the new eggs are being formed and fertilized. if your females have been in with no males and you see this pink spot it is time to introduce the male... it means she is ovulating. that picture angle is the tail end closest (even though you cant see it) and the pink spot about midbody, her head being farthest away and out of the picture

what robin said is 100% correct

i took that picture about 2 1/2 weeks ago, a day after that picture she layed

Robin, what's the weather in Boston going to be like tomorrow?

I know I've asked this question before, but I'm just an impatiant first time breeder. I put my male in with my female over two weeks ago, and as far as I can tell, I've seen no sign of mating. Everytime I hear him wag his tail, she just walks away. I've been checking her stomach for signs of ovulation or eggs and really can't tell, but on the other hand, I can't be 100% sure that she's not ovulating. There's a little bit of pink on her belly, but not too dark. So to get to my question...

How late in the season will a female start to ovulate or be ready to mate? It sounds like everybody else's leos are already producing eggs. Should I be conserned that nothing has happened yet?

I'm very anal when it comes to husbantry, so I know she has all essential neccesities: Multiple hides, correct heat, pleanty of food water, plenty of calcium, day night cycles, moist hide, moist lay box.

Thanks,
Jason

i dont know the weather in boston but i can say it is definately colder than texas =)
... males can stimulate females into ovulation but they can ovulate almost any time of year .... i had females laying eggs as late as sept and oct. 04. Generally however spring and summer are the best times for ovulation and mating. she may not be interested but the males can be very persistant
