These are what is left of infertile eggs most probably. Usually they are reabsorbed if the conditions are wrong for whatever reason. The female can still produce (infertile) eggs even without a male present.

yes, I agree with Moneymaker. Probably a slug, so don't worry too much.

ok so i found out they are infertile eggs, is there anything I should be careful about now post laying. She is quiet (resting by the heat mat) but I guess thats expected after laying. I heard their weigh can significantly drop, and to feed her more than usual is the best approach. Is there anything else I should be aware of?

thanks

To be honest it's not like she laid a full clutch of eggs. I wouldn't worry, just feed her as normal, you can keep a weight record if you're concerned about it.

you can give a lay box too with moss in, can help pass them if there are any more, unlikly, but it happens.
