Hi all,
today i was handling my female gecko and it looks like she has a bubble her armpit. The bubble kinda looks like when human's get a water blister on thier foot(if that helps to describe it anymore) Any ways I was just a lil worried and i was wondering if any more experianced gecko keepers knew what it might be? Thanks for your help!

This is normal. I was told they are excess calcium deposits. Some of mine get them sometimes and they go away in a while. One girl seems to keep hers.

It can store extra anything really; vitamins, minerals, proteins, etc. The pockets can come and go but they don't seem to bother them at all. Nothing to worry about!

I thought that meant you had an obease gecko when they start forming little fat pockets under their armpits
