Guys Help, Please AND Thank You!!!

Hey Guys So My Leopard Gecko That I Got On The 7th of Oct. Has A Air Bubble Looking Thing Under Is Right Arm. No Other Arm Has One. He Looks Clear Sort Of And It Only Shows When He Walks A Certien Way, You Don't See It All The Time. I Took Some Pictures And Here They Are

( Pictures DON'T Show How It Looks Clear -See Through- But It Does In Person )

( This Picture You Couldn't See The Pocket So I Tried Taking A Picture But It Didn't Come Out Right )

I'm Not Sure If Its A Fat Pocket, Protein Pocket Or What. I'm FREAKING OUT HERE!!! LORD!
I Hope It's Just Something Minor, Now I Have Been Looking At Fat Pockets But So Far Have Not Seen One That Looks Like It's Clear.

If It Is Something Serious How Could It Happen? I Clean It's Cage Every Other Day I Keep Fresh Water And Fresh Cal. Without D3 In It's Cage. I Dust His Meal worms And Or Crickets Every Other Day. I Change His Humid Hide Every Other Day Too. Wash My Hands Before And After Handling Him. So I Don't See How It Could Be Serious But I Hope It Isn't.

My Family Is Telling Me I'm Acting Like A Over Protected Father, LOL! But I'm Worried!!!

-Troy, Thanks For Reply's!!!

How often are you using calcium with D and multivitamins?

 

[animeavatar]

It's just nutrience, if you want to get rid of them then supplement less. what are you supplementing with and how much?

 

[reptileking]

Heres a pic of him when he straightens his arm out how you can see the air bubble.

Ok So I Use ( Zoo Med, Repti Calcium WITHOUT D3 ) To Put In The Cage 24/7.
I Dust Crickets & Or Meal worms EVERY OTHER DAY With ( Rep-Cal Calcium WITH D3 ).
I Usally Use The Crickets But Got Meal Worms Because The Pet shop Was Out Of Crickets.....

THANKS FOR THE REPLYS!!!

you don't need that much with D3. How about multi-vitamins? My gecko also has armpit bubbles so I cut down on my supplementing

What Do You Mean?

Do You Mean I'm Using To Much Of The Cal. With D3?
If So Maybe I Should Cut Back To TWICE A Week Dusting?

None Of My Petshops Carry The Multivitamins And My Family Doesn't Allow Me To Use Their Card To Get It Off The Internet.

If you want a healthy gecko then you must find a way to get multivitamins. It's very important. Only use the calcium with D 2 times a week on the worms. If you have a dish in the tank with calcium, make sure it does not have vitD in it. It should be Phosphorus free as well.

Go to petco and get the t-Rex brand calcium. It is made by repashy and it includes all the calcium, minerals, and vitamins needed, it also uses a safe amount of d3. Havnt seen it at petsmart but always at petco. Cut down to dusting once a week until the pocket gets smaller

I'll Look, But Every DAMN Time I Go To My Petco Or Petsmart They Are Always Out Of Stock Of Vitamins...

Because she already has the pockets and you need to cut back on the days, it's best to have the 3 seperate because you will need to use the plain calcium more often.

I Know!, I Understood What They Were Saying.
Thanks.

I bought my multivitamins from the vet, so you can try that, if that doesnt work ask petsmart to call you when some come in and to please put some aside for you until you get there.
