Hey guys,

I recently noticed that my leopard gecko's armpits are swollen on both sides. What does this mean for her?

She needs deoderant? "Secret...strong enough for a man...made for a gecko"

I believe that this is a fat reserve. Pictures would help.

Here's the pic of one of her armpits. It feels like a liquid inside because when I apply pressure to it it moves to the other side of her arm. It feels like a water blister. Any ideas?

Fat reserve. It is common in over weight geckos.

[fishmato]

Really? Shes so thin though. Shes lost so much weight from all the eggs she laid, I have been worried. And she can't catch her food well beacuse she is almost completely blind. If you think so then I suppose I should be grateful its not something terrible.

[Preston Cook]

Yeah, thats just fat reserves :P

Well I feel better. They are almost gone now, but before that pic was taken, they were quite large.
