Curious as to what this is?

Hiya new to this just curious as to whether the things circled in the picture are anything ? (If anything) Worried about everything at the moment as we had one of ours die this morning. Any help would be grateful.
Thanks, Laura.

I am assuming it's a female? Looks like eggs. Sorry to hear one died. What did he or she die of?

It's not eggs, they sit much lower. I wouldn't worry too much about that. It looks pretty normal. It is probably an organ or something. I can similar things on my geckos too. Sorry to hear about your other one. It is always sad when one passes on.

The Leo in the pic is a she, I'm not sure what Flo died of we tried everything in the short 5 days we had parasite meds rehydration electrolytes temp vitamins she was about to have x rays but died in the night

its really heart breaking. She had everything she needed but started loosing weight really fast hence we only had 5 days as thats when it dropped. So what do we reckon eggs or not eggs or something else or nothing? lol its driving me mad. weighing them all every day watching like a hawk don't want the same thing to happen again. The one that died was only 7ish months old :/

Did you use parasite medication without knowing the cause? That can finish them off under certain illnesses. Did the vet do a fecal exam? No necropsy? A necropsy is important when you have more than one reptile. Where they housed together?

Yes we did the vet gave it to us 2 types. no poo exam he just said if she has them itll kill it. and no necropsy she died at home and we buried her. I nagged the vet and they said to give the tank a good clean which we do anyway but we'll do it better I'm paranoid about something being in there with them. and yea they are housed together

Believe me I know the feeling, so sorry. What exactly happened? What symptoms did she have?

She just wouldn't eat at all on thurs we weighed her n she was 27 grams so went vets on fri then she was 24 on the monday and then 21 on the tuesday and then I found her dead on weds morning. She wasnt really pooing because she wasnt eating so we were getting water and food into her via a syringe sometimes she would keep it down but as the days got more she was bringing it back up. On the Tues night before she died it took me over a hour to get anything into her eventually she letme feed her and brought it back up. she wouldnt digest food hence at first we were pureeing crickets locust water and vitamins together, then tuesday the vet (exotic specialist) gave us a mixture for her. whats worse is on the monday she started to drink on her own and we thought she may have been getting better.

I'm not an expert by any means, but it sounds like an impaction. What substrate was she on when you had her and before you had her?
