strange colour

[sausage]

Hi Guys

I just wanted your opinion on this picture.

It’s a pic of one of my young females; she’s come into sexual maturity in the last few months. I noticed that she’s developed this strange white area.

She’s not sick or anything like that, she eats well and defecates fine. She’s also never been with a male so shouldn’t be eggs, not that I’ve ever seen eggs look like this though lol. I’ve not noticed anything like this with any geckos I’ve worked with and just wondered what you thought.

Thanks

maybe it's a odd looking fat body? hopefully someone can give you a better answer.

It does look like an egg, but too far back in her abdomen. :/
I would say fat build up on her organs maybe? I don't know, if you're concerned a Vet visit would be best.

I agree with KTyne. Looks like fatty build up. What are you feeding and how much? What does I feel like?

Nice nails I'm pretty certain that it is a follicle ( structures that contain eggs) in more advanced stages. As Leo's ovulate, pink follicles will be visible through their abdomen, they look like the tip of a pencil eraser and grow in diameter each day. If the eggs are not fertilized within a certain time window, the follicle turns into a white, globular mass that will be absorbed by the body gradually.

she still only small and she eats XL locusts about 2 daily at the moment, and she let me have a gentle feel and is all squish so no worries there .
