Question

leopard gecko Hi, About 2-3 weeks ago i saw some bite marks on my female leopard gecko.
She is currecntly housed wiht a male. And now, i noticed these white/yellow
lumps in her belly. She is currently 1 year and 55 grams. I was wondering, is she
pregnant?

Answer
Hi Sherri,
She may be..but the areas you see may just be her fat pockets. Here is a link to some good pictures of actual eggs in a gravid female.

In your picture, I'm not seeing the defined brighter white spots closer to the rib area. The picture is sort of small, which may be why I'm not seeing them. The eggs just may not be large enough to capture them well on camera. With you having the link to compare to, I'm hoping it helps you out. That link is also good on info for caring for a gravid female and hatching eggs.
If for any reason, you would need a vet, here are links to finding a vet that is able to treat reptiles.
