it's been a few weeks since what? since you saw copulation, put her with a male, noticed what looked like eggs in her belly, or something else? what kind of lay box are you using? how old is she and how much does she weigh?

i see some old shed on her feet and it looks like her tail may have a layer of shed on it too but i'm not sure from the photos. make sure to help her remove that old skin so she doesn't lose any toes. a lukewarm soak followed by rubbing the old skin with a wet q-tip should help remove the old skin. also make sure to provide her with a humid hide (this can double as a lay box) on the warm side of her enclosure at all times so she doesn't have trouble shedding in the future.

its been around 3 weeks since i first noticed what i thought were eggs. as far as the stuff on her feet and tail that was calcium powder from the dish in her cage. the lay box is a tupperware container with 2 inches of vermiculite dampened to the point of clumping but not dripping. Also she is 58g

aaah calcium--my bad.

how long has it been since she was introduced to a male? it does kinda look like she has eggs in her belly but if her belly has looked like that for three weeks it's either not eggs or she could be egg bound. she is on the small side as far as being ready to breed. make sure she gets lots to eat and try giving her a pinkie once per week or so (for now) to help plump her up and make sure her body can handle being gravid.
