please help!!!!

I just noticed my Leo has fluid like pockets under her front arms what could this be Im always handling her and never notice this before they are pretty big when she walks the stick out the side of her body like a blister full of water please let me know if anyone has seen this before she is about 7 months old...thanks stacy

it's just fat. :) that is one of the places that leos store fat reserves and it is completely normal. at 7 months old your gecko is still growing but the rate of growth has slowed some, allowing her body to store more fat rather than using it all for growth purposes. a nice fat tail and armpit fat pockets are signs of a healthy gecko. :gj:

oh thank god we love her so much and of course i worry about her getting sick. Thanks for your help....stacy:) :carrot:

no problem at all. you should post pics of her sometime! :)

Hmmm *checks her own "tail" out* apparently I'm a healthy gecko!!!! :carrot:
