Armpit Bubbles and Brumation?
LOG IN TO CLOSE THIS AD
My 4ish year old leopard gecko has entered brumation for the first time. She began refusing food and acting lethargic for about 1 month ago now. She did one healthy looking poop and I haven't fed her since as she has spent her time sleeping in her cold hide constantly. I was worried at first but when I take her out (I try to leave her alone while she's brumating but I want to make sure she's alright) she perks up slightly and looks around/will walk a bit. Today, while I was taking my gecko's Christmas Card photos, I took her out for a quick picture, and I noticed that her armpit bubbles are still present and large. Is this abnormal to have during brumation or could it be good as she is maybe storing fat/nutrients there while she's refusing food? Throughout the year her armpit bubbles come and go, Im just shocked they havent gone down since she hasn't eaten in a month. Just wanting some opinions to see if this could be abnormal or if I'm just getting worried over nothing. This is the first time she's brumated since I got her 3 years ago and my other two geckos are not brumating at all.
Thanks!
