hey all!

i'm having concerns about one of my gecko girls
i had her out to let her walk over my desk and me and suddenly, i noticed a wet patch running down my shirt.
i did not hear or feel my gecko do anything, i just noticed the sudden moisture (i mean, there was no violent motions or no gagging or bubbling sound from her)

the liquid was completely clear and didn't smell of anything
the first thought was that she might've peed on me (since my baby cresties sometimes do that when sitting on my hand) but leos have soild urine, right?

did she throw up water? it was about one teaspoon of liquid, give or take
if so, do i need to worry?
it's the weekend and there's no herp vet available until monday (if it's a super intense emergency, i could go to a regular vet, i think...)

she doesn't appear sick or weak, she's moving as usual, is attentive and as far as i, personally, can tell, there's nothing off about her appearance or behavior.
when i picked her up, she was acting like usual,
i've put her back in her tank for now and she's "pancaking" on the floor above the heatmat, (meaning she's lying down, limbs sprawled whereever and soaking up warmth. i've come to call it "relaxed into a puddle")

yeah...
i don't know how much i should panic right now....

Something similar happen to me once but it was with food. The vet told me it was probably the fact I had my gecko away from a heat source(belly) a little to long(I was told no more then 10 mins) as they need it for digestive reasons both for food and water. So needless to say she regurgitated the food so now knowing this I never keep my geckos far from heat source unless handling a few mins at a time and never after eating and drinking. She came out fine from this but its a lesson learned on my part that scared the crap out of me.
