It doesn't look like gular edema I've seen in pictures, though, I suppose in different species it might look different.
Your best bet is a vet. If you fill in the form, maybe someone will see something that jumps out as a possible problem.
My initial guess would be it's supplement related. Edema is related to fluid retention and nutritional imbalances can lead to that. But that is just a guess on my part, not at all to be considered an expert opinion. Please do not change your supplements based on what I wrote. Instead, fill in the form and let's see what the true experts--there are vets here, after all!--can offer.

I have a modest collection and have noticed this condition on one of my females as well so I too am interested in this post. I assume that it is due to overfeeding as I had been offering larger hornworms 3x/week for a couple of weeks in addition to the regular diet of crickets. I dust all crickets with calcium plus but not the hornworms. This condition exists only on my youngest (6 months old) female. My other females - breeders - were fed in the same manner/amount and do not show this condition.
