The first female looks prgnant to me - her sides in front of her back legs look bloated and it looks like she is carrying eggs from the underneath pics. They are the best pics though, so not 100% off those alone. Any chance of better ones not through a tub???
And leos can lay eggs until the ay they day! The egg production just gets less and less after around the age of about 6.

when you look at her belly can you see two light oval(not lumps but like blotch) each side if so they are the eggs and by her size she could be and you should be able to see them

ok i have just tryed to take a piccie of her wivout the tub but she just wont sit still and was getting stressed so i skip that idea i just keep an eye on her for the times being.
i dont have any moss or vermiculite so i have put some damp eco earth in a cricket tub for her do u think this will be ok untill i can get some stuff....
