HELP! Is my leo pregnant? (pics)

So Skittles has been digging constantly...all the time...and haven't eaten in days...I asked what could be wrong and someone suggested eggs...so I took these pics




Is Skittles preggers? She hasn't been around any boys. What do I do if she is? What do I put in a egg laying box?

They aren't fertile eggs. Just put a container in there for her to lay her eggs, and then toss them. Up her calcium a bit, she'll be fine.

Those aren't, or certainly don't look like eggs to me. If those were eggs, they should/would be closer to the vent. That looks like a blister or something along those lines.

I agree with Rich, they look like they are some sort of blister or an enlarged organ.

ok I don't think it's a blister because it only sticks out when she moves a certain way and it was actually really hard to get a pic of it sticking out...she's always been kinda lumpy so who knows it could be an organ...someone else suggested calcium deposits...is that possible? Are they harmful?

If i'm correct (if they are eggs).

A moist box, with moss in it would be good enough.

It's hard to tell by the picture, if you could shine a bright light up at her or down on her to better illuminate things it may help...
Has she still been deficating? If there anything in her tank that she could have eaten that may have plugged her up?

Yep...pooping regularly and absolutely no small objects in the tank. Completely being her normal active self aside from the digging the past couple nights. I was also in the Carribean for 2 weeks and had my breeder taking care of her (in a different setup), maybe it was something to do with the move? The smallest thing there is the thermometer probe and that's still in check. She actually ate a couple worms today and hasn't started demolishing her hide yet. I'll keep you guys updated.
