Is this okay?

Whenever Oliver brings his arm to his chest, this little "bulge" appears right next to his armpit. It's full of air, it looks like.
Any info?
Is this normal?
How do I fix it?

It's a calcium sack. My females all have those. We refer to them as water wings since that's what they look like.

 

[WilliamTheLeopardGecko]

Oh. Thank you I was just wondering if it was bad, William never had those

 

[Ozy]

My leopard gecko doesn't have them either. That's just where they store extra calcium. Or if they are overweight. LOL! She's nice and fat, with a SUPER fat tail.. So I dunno why she doesn't have the little bubbles in her armpits.. *shrug* She's a weirdo though. hahaha

some people say that the bubbles are a sign of healthiness, where as others say its obesity and iv also been told calcium storage. mine all the it even the males so im taking it to be a good sign!?

 

[Ozy]

Well I dunno if it's a "good sign" since Ozy is perfectly happy and healthy. Sheds perfectly 99% of the time, has a REALLY fat tail, eats like a pig, super alert, curious, active and has picture perfect poops. So I think it's just something that happens sometimes. I don't think it necessarily means they are healthy or not healthy.
