What kind of uvb do you have? Has she pooped lately?

Do you mean she's housed outside?
So your uvb is on the way, that's good. What are you using right now? Or do you just have a basking bulb til you get your reptisun?
Has she had a poo lately?
Has she been with a male or don't you know since you just got her.

i just talked to the person i got her from and she was housed with her siblingsin a huge 100 gallon glass cage. SO she could i guess be pregnant? how can i get the "objects" outa her? also she was digging 2 days ago, but didnt think much of it since she is still a juvi (14 inches).

Oh wow, I'm so sorry, I wish I had some answers for you. She does sound pretty young to be pregnant. I'll try to direct some people to this post!
How long has she been acting this way? How long have you had her? Are her beard and/or tail darker than the rest of her? When you mention spasms, what exactly are you seeing? Did she have a UVB light before and are you giving her calcium now, if so, how often? How has her eating and pooping been? Are you sure it's eggs and not an impaction that you're feeling? What type of substrate is on the bottom of her tank?
Oh geez she is way too small to be having eggs.How old is she? I am betting she may be having an impaction issue more then anything else.oo be safe you can set her up a laybox in her tank with moist clean soil and playsand wet so she can burrow in it but I woukd also get her off solid food for right now and get her on some babyfood like squash and chicken,you will also want to bathe her but while bathing her gently massage the areas you feel lumps in a circular motion working down towards the vent.When you say she was housed with others are we talking adults or babies.If your feeling multiple lumps and she is only a baby I would get her to a vet.

No she has not darkened up, actually her color looks the best i have seen. She has been acting like this for a day or two. but NEVER to this extent. also her beard comes out and in. for the spasms it not like twithcting but like shivvering, very strange. i tried to give her calcium but she wouldnt eat anything.
Do you have any idea of her age?You have to get some calcium in her I agree with Dianne even if you syringe feed it mixed with babyfood its important.What type of substrate was she/is she on?INCA":1b406 said:
Can you post a pic of her?It would be hepful to determine if there is even a remote possibility about her being gravid.Again I doubt it but pics would help rule that out.INCA":e96cf said:
