Bloating?

[ReptarTheLizard9]

Reptar has been eating and pooping normally yet I feel like her stomach seems a bit bloated. She is a juvenile and I only give her a couple mealworms every week for a treat and crickets and veggies for a main staple. Is she just getting- fat or does it look like something could be wrong? I’m super paranoid haha.

She looks good but I would lay off the meal worms - they are pretty harsh on babies/ juvie stomachs- the exoskeleton is hard for them to digest- you can feed butter worms super worms but those should be fed small amounts 1-3 and every few days- you don't want her hooked on them - horn worms are a great hydrating worm but they grow really fast - so order small and small amounts- silk worms are a good staple and do not grow as fast as horn worms

Ok thanks for the help! I was freaking out and even considered a stop by the vet. If I didn’t have this forum I honestly probably would have made around 5 vet trips by now. Thanks for the Help!

This would be considered a bloated belly, (if its touching the ground while they stand) (dont worry my girl just had 1 to many hornworms and was still hungry lol)
