Is the lump poking out and can you push on it and have it go back in? I'm asking because I have a gecko with a hernia. She's been to see the vet and for now, I've made her a "girdle" out of 2 bandaids which pushes the lump back in. The vet said that as long as it can be pushed in there aren't any obstructions or complications.

I have a super snow tremper with a circle that pops out when I lift her up or she tenses... could that be a hernia? I've poked it, some days it's not there. It's never been seen by a vet. I got her like that from a breeder and he wrote it off as nothing. Told me it was "natural in some leos".

It's really hard and oblong in the centre of her stomach, it starts just below her front legs and end just before her vent. She is quite alert, but less fiesty than before, but tends to croak more when i pick her up. She has always been a bit of a bitch (like growls at you, runs away, jumps off you, runs away) so I just minimilised handling, put my hand in the tank and didn't move to show her I wasn't a threat, hand fed her, and she calmed down a bit, but now she sounds like she is screaming.
The lump is hard like I said, and almost feels nobbly, as if it is a poo that is stuck.
Should I warm soak her even though she is gravid, could stress contribute towards egg binding?
After mating she laid her first clutch in 2 weeks 3 days, and it has now been 3 weeks 3 days since that. I will try and get a good pic of her tummy, as my other leo laid a clutch then didn't bother with any more, so she could just be fat and not gravid
