okay #1 list off your husbandry, what are yout temps/humidity?
What is the geckos diet?
Have you tried soaking her in warm water and rubbing her belly?
How often does she normally defacate?
Is there anything she could have accidentally ingested? (fake leaves, astroturn, string)

well the temps in the day time go to the low 80's and has a night time low of about 70, I have a few fake leaves in there but they can not be removed or eaten so thats not the problem. her diet is purely crickets but i will soon introduce mealworms to her diet. I don't know the humidity should I get a humidity gauge? the warm water belly rubbing might work I'll give that a try also there are no lose item that are small enough to be eaten so that is also out. I'll keep you posted but if you have any other sujustions it would be great!

Make sure she has enough water and is not dehydrated. Try saoking her in luke warm, not hot water for about 10 minutes.
