So after giving her a few days to get settled and didnt want to handle her too much because she is a bit wobbly and reeeally scared of everything around her I checked out our pet store 'rescue' today:

Now I went to check her tummy just now, since she ate 50 mealworms in total now, just hasnt pooped yet :S
She had this blueish visible on her tummy on the side (her left side) are these intestines or something else or is it time to worry. Ive never seen it like this with any of my geckos or is that just because they're much bigger than her and not so thin.
Im also a bit hesitant to give her a warm soak because she is just sooooo scared and thin I dont want her to die because of the shock.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry no pics attached I tried making loads of them but it just didnt work, maybe tomorrow but the camera just isnt very good

That is a lot of mealworms to eat without pooping. You may want to get her checked out at the vet. Wait for more opinions, but that is just what I would do. Good Luck!

thanks marcia I know their intestines can be visible through their belly and can look bluish but this was on one side and almost from her forearm to her lower body. and it were more like spots and not one whole. sorry that I cant explain it I'll keep trying to make pictures.
At least she finally pooped on her 5th day here and now poops and eats regularly so that all seems fine :)
