s/he is going through a growth spurt or something. its gotten quite a bit lengthier and a whole lot more round. when its walking around its belly is almost dragging..
i know the species is more pancake-ish than other lizards but i don't want mine to be a porker. i feed it every 2-3 days depending on the meal and how large it was. crickets, eggs, roaches, an appropriately sized rat (once a week max, sometimes every other week).
it is in a 75 gallon tank atm it seems to be a good amount of room for the time being, i'm waiting for some help on a lager enclosure.

It dosn`t realy look like fat [the neck and tail look normal..

i took it to the vet and they did a poop test but no parasites were found. i'm guessing it must have been undigested food or something, i haven't seen anything similar since then.
