Something weird in my females stomach

Something weird in my females belly.

Alright so one of my females has had eggs for a couple of weeks but infertile since i've never paired her up with any males but now that i check under her belly i see something that looks like a green blueish oval around the center of her stomach between the eggs and it looks pretty big, about half the size of an egg. Can anyone tell me what this could be?

It's probably her liver getting crowded by the eggs. Can you take a photo?

 

[Theinfidel]

I'll try to put one in in a few minutes. But yeah she hasn't eaten in 2 weeks and is pretty active moving around the enclosure so im a lil confused about this never sene it before.

 

[Golden Gate Geckos]

Does she have a moist hide as a laybox? The #1 reason for egg-binding is not having an appropriate place to lay eggs.

 

[Theinfidel]

yeah ofcourse but i just had a damp paper towel as substrate in there im gonna put moss in there instead and we'll see.

Caster oil on the lips

ok so i put the moss in there and she started digging a couple of minutes later so we'll see what happens.

 

[Theinfidel]

Ok she laid her two eggs in the hide i guess she needed somewhere to dig? although when i found the eggs there were just kicked around the container like soccer balls. Good thing is i don't see her liver anymore so we're good but bad news is the eggs felt like water balloons so i threw em out lol. Thanks a lot Marcia.

Did you cut them open or freeze them first?

YOU SHOULD HAVE INCUBATED!

Glad she laid her eggs! Sometimes freshly laid eggs can feel like water balloons before the air has time to harden the shell to a leathery consistency. Infertile eggs will be limp and very thin-shelled. When in doubt, go ahead and incubate. If they are fertile they'll firm up, if infertile, they'll fail in the first 10 days.

eh to late i froze em up they felt really bad and the eggs like i said were kicked around and in bad positions like when i saw one of the eggs it was positioned upwards .

Sometimes females kick them around to cover them in "camouflage" that matches the laybox substrate...good luck on your next set!

 

[Theinfidel]

i didn't mean it was positioned under the moss in a weird way but w/e she was never with a male so it wouldn't be fertile especially with a water ballon egg.

No need to freeze or incubate if she has never been introduced with a male anyway. Unless you just got her an possibly she could have been with a male before you had her.

they aslo roll them with their feet to harden the eggs
