Ok im worried about one of my little females. Its her first time being pregant and this was not a planned pregnancy! ohhhh i dont know what to do, i can see the eggs in her and i know they've been in there too long. She seems in pain sometimes, she is still eating alittle. Everyonce and a while she'll go over to the "toilet corner" of the enclosure and try push something out. All that comes out is urate, but also some other fluid. Im not an inexpeerienced breeder but ive never had this happen to my geckos before. I know its more common im larger reptile species and sometimes requires surgery..im scared i dunno what to do. and no theres no reptile vets around here. I work in a clinic and i wouldnt even take her there becasue they would know less than i do... Anyone anyonee please give me your thoughts and comments

Hi
Try soaking her in warm water that just comes up to her stomache for awhile, reheating the water as needed, that can help to try and relax the stomache muscles. While you are soaking her in this warm water, you can gently massage her stomache in a down warm motion and see if this helps.

Hi
No, it hasn't happened to me before, but it has happened to others on this forum, and one person had said this is what he did for his gecko and it worked for him.
