she looks about the same size as her listing

#

Yeah but look at her stomach in the first picture

#

She's extremely tiny and def lost a lot of weight

glacial robin
#

i'm not sure that's weight loss . possibly dehydration? I know it can make leos look extra wrinkly

#

because body codition wise she in fact looks the same

floral rain
#

I have lots of water in her enclosure now
I'm just worried she's super stressed to the point where it's fatal

#

Well hopefully she drinks
I'll continually update this post

#

She's in a 20 gallon tub

#

I'm moving her to a 40 gal tomorrow but

glacial robin
#

Oooh. How long have you had her?

floral rain
#

I'm scared it'll be too much stress for her

#

Uhh like

#

#

It's like a quarantine tub

#

#

it's a new enviroment and such

floral rain
#

I'm breathingg I'm just scared

glacial robin
#

I would go ahead and move her to her 40 gal tomorrow but she will be okay

#

being shipped and new enviroments are stressful and she looks healthy besides maybe bein a lil wrinkly

Okay tyy
My other gecko is so much bigger than her and I got worried when she was slow moving

#

So I could move her to the better enclosure tmmr and she'll be okay?

#

Thank youu

glacial robin
#

every gecko is going to be a bit different in terms of their size and weight range. what matters is her body condition which looks perfectly fine

#

she looks to be the same kind of stature as my two females so hug

move her to the enclosure when you can and just let her vibe for the 2 weeks to get used to everything
