Default impaction ?????

One of my leos is wider and and fatter than the other one and they are the same age and the same weight, does it mean she could have an impaction or is it just normal for them to look different weights??

They all look slightly different shapes, unless they are on a dodgy substrate or the tail looks disproportionately thin I wouldn't think you've got any cause for concern.

Having seen the pics on your other thread they both look absolutely fine. If either were impacted they would not be pooping properly. You have got them on paper so unless you are feeding food items that are too big I don't think you need to worry about impaction.
BTW do you have a moist hide for them to use when shedding?
