Thanks in advance guys.

Looks like a urate.

I guess the picture quality is pretty crappy, so it could look like a urate stuck to its belly. The white spot is under the skin though. Unless it's possible to see the urate passing =X. I sure would feel weird if I could see my own organs, kinda neat to see theirs though.

EDIT: Just pooped with an urate and everything. Doubting it's a urate visible through the abdominal wall now. Could it maybe be a paradox spot on the skin or something weird visible under the skin?

You should see it on the tank floor in a day or two. lol Baby leopard geckos start out with very transparent skin that becomes more opaque as they grow. So yes, you're just seeing the digestive process!

By the way, thank you for giving so much info with your question.

That white spot is probably urates floating around in the gecko's bladder.
