Droopy eyes and fat neck of a 6 month old female

[Schmonatan]

Hello everyone.

I'm currently puzzled over if my girl has droopy eyes and abnormal neck or it's all fine and a process of general developing. She is starting her 6th month, I got her when she was 3. UVB and Spot Heating are Arcadia. She is active, eats and poops well, not lethargic or hiding. Diet is dubia, red roaches, crickets, sometimes she deigns to eat some green salad. All feeders are always dusted with Ca and bee pollen. Neck is soft, just skin and not always puffy. She might look fat in the photos below, but she actually weighs ~108 grams.

Please help, cos I'm freaking out here.

The droopy eye could be genetics --- but we can have someone else take a look - she might be holding food in the neck - they will do that and in a day or two it will go down - has she always had the neck thing going on or recently?

As she started to grow bigger the neck started to grow as well. It started to be noticeable a month ago.

Ok well lets AHBD take a look and see what she says

Can you post full body picture ? She does look chubby.

You're right, she's not chubby. She looks pretty good, be careful that she doesn't eat any of the corn cob bedding.

Thank you all for your replies.

She spits it out when takes it accidentely, believe it or not

 

[AHBD]

That's good but be aware that it can cause impaction/blockage because it swells in the stomach as it absorbs all the liquid.

She looks pretty healthy to me? Beautiful girl!

I'm guessing that it may all be related to an oncoming shed. It looks like her face/beard are getting ready for a shed. As they get older, their beards also get bigger and can be a bit saggier at times. She looks pretty healthy based on the photos.
