Flapneck Hernia?

[BackwaterReptiles]

Here's a picture of a newly imported (gravid) Flapneck I received in a shipment. It's almost as if she has some type of hernia, and some/all of her eggs dropped down/through. She acts "healthy," in that she is active, eats, and drinks.

This is a first for me, so any guidance from anyone who's seen this occur before would be greatly appreciated.

Wow! Poor little thing. I've never seen anything like that. Without an xray or some sort of scan its a mystery what's in that lump. The thing that seems odd to me is if she had some sort or hernia her entire abdomen might look stretched out and drooping, not just this more defined lump with the skin that still seems to form a neck apart from the rest of her. I wonder if its a long-standing abscess, a tumor, or an mass of encapsulated parasitic worms?

Wow, that is unlike anything I've ever seen.

My first guess would be hernia too, but I don't know anything of the sort so I'll leave that to others.

I hope you can get her to an x-ray.

Not nice at all, never seen this before, guess an xray would be the best advice here.
