Hoping she isn't gravid. It's a bit out of season. Please help!

We adopted this girl off of a woman we thought was a good professional breeder. Quite the opposite. She was in terrible condition. Thankfully we've gotten her weight back up and we've prevented anymore damage to her toes. :[

*Long story short: She was housed with males, she's been gaining weight, eating on and off, keeps to herself, only weighs 45grams. Now we've noticed what looks like eggs developing. We're worried that laying the eggs out of season is going to hurt her.
Is she gravid?
If she is-Is there anything we can do to make her more comfortable/safe?

Doesn't look like it to me from those photos but I'm no expert. If she is gravid there's not much you can do except give her a laying box with coconut fiber or vermiculite so she'll have somewhere to lay her eggs.

She is not gravid. If she was and you didn't want it...don't breed her. Geckos can be bred all year long as long as they ovulate. I have a female who is just now going on her season. Whats bad about "off season" babies?

We were told that it can hurt the female and wastes the calcium she builds up off season.
Some responses to other posts on this forum were verrry against breeding off season.

Just trying to keep her safe :/

Breeding at anytime is hard on the female and yes the egg production/laying takes a lot out of the gecko. But there should be nohing to worry about as long as te proper precautions are taken. Provide plenty of calcium, plenty of food, correct temps, lay box, etc. Females can still lay eggs even if they have not been bred. Just do not expect the eggs to be good.
