Hi, I have a 13month old Male Leopard Gecko bought as a hatchling from a trusted breeder. He feeds on hoppers 3-4 times a week and scats almost every day and is in the normal weight range for a gecko of his size/age.
The problem is that over the last couple of weeks he has developed a pea sized lump on top of his back right hip. It does not cause him distress when touched but his feeding and scatting has dramatically reduced. Ive read about calcium pockets but thought they were only found in females. Would really love and help and assistance anyone can offer please:Many thanks in advance.

The pockets that store fat/calcium are located in the arm pit area. (males and females) Do you have any pictures of these lumps?

Geckos can get these if you are over supplementing their calcium. Basically calcifications on the bones. I don't know if that's the case with yours though.. Just throwing it out there.
