Here we are, these were taken 30 minutes ago.

EDIT: Paul told me shows a dorsal stripe. I don't think so. Any opinions?

 

[Ian S.]

She looks to be in fairly good shape. Beautiful color! I don't see any dorsal stripping though. I'd get a bit more weight on her IMO. Is she coming off of a breeding season??

 

[RoseT]

She is a looker but she needs some more fat on her.

 

[The NY Gecko]

Thanks guys, I've started trying new foods so far, shes grown bored of mealies and crickets. I bought superworms yesterday and half of them are gone already, she really likes them. I might order some silkies. I've been throwing the food at her, right now shes 65g, almost all body, but her tails getting there. No Ian, she didn't just come out of breeding lol.

yshe looks very pretty but i agree with everyone else she needs to get some weight on her

 

[BalloonzForU]

She's very nice Tom. Her tail will fill in before you know it.

 

[rrhill]

Not to pick on you or anything Tom, but are you sure she's coming in at 65g? I have males that appear much larger than her that aren't at 65g. If you want to fatten her up, try roaches, silkies and waxworms. Those will put some weight on her. She is a nice looking girl.

 

[The NY Gecko]

Yep, shes 65. If its cause shes in my hand well, I have massive hands and it sucks. Why? Because fitting them into small places when i drop things is damn near impossible. I'm going to buy some waxies this week, maybe a pinkie for her too. If things go my way, for once in my life, I'll be breeding her in the fall of this year.

Hey Tom, how long is she head to tail?

 

[The NY Gecko]

about 8 inches, maybe a little more. Yes, my hands are that huge and it makes me sad.

 

[Ian S.]

What kind of scale are you using and does it run on battery? It may be time for a change if so.
This male only clocks in at 54g.

 

[Ian S.]

Nope sorry! 51g. since breeding.

 

[o0 Ryan 0o]

I just posted this photo a few days ago. She's 8.25 inches and weighs 68g.

I'm with Ian, what scale are you using.

ok not just the hand shot but in several shots she looks thin and not even close to the 65 gram mark just my .02

ok thats what i am talking about. that looks like a 65 - 70 gramer

 

[NewportGeckos]

Here's a gecko thats a little over 7.5 inches, and weighing in at 57 grams. She's by no means thick, but isn't eating at the moment and is not yet fully grown. She also happens to be in shed so she may look kinda ugly I'm assuming your scale may be a little off, I know mine adds a few grams when the bats are low.

 

[The NY Gecko]

I used my friends so I don't know about the battery. If thats the case then at low shes what? 60? She really is fat, her body isnt skinny by any means.

 

[Val]

If I had to guess..and I'm not that great at it, I'd say she's somewhere in the low 40s.

 

[GeckoStud]

It may be the scale, i mean i just had a female come off a breeding season that would not eat until after her third clutch and she looked to be that size if not a little smaller. Her weight was 41.7 after her last clutch.

Needless to say she probably wont breed next year. And i am happy to say her appetite is back in full!

All i can say is get a second scale's opinion.

 

[robin]

i would have to agree with you val low 40's
