Lump behind Front leg

Hi everybody. I was just taking pics of my female sunglow and i noticed a small lump behind her front leg. I was wondering what could cause this.

Thanks.

Is it like a air bubble like thing? They can get that from having a lot of calicuem.

thegeckoguy- Yes thats exactly what it is. Should I take her calcium out of her cage?

No just don't just add as munch as you did on the food before. This has heppend to all my geckos. Its nothing to worry about.

The fluid pockets behind the legs will go away but it can take time (about a month of not feeding calcium). It's no big deal. Just leave it be and it'll be fine. We have had lots of healthy leos over the years with calcium fluid pockets.

This is happening to me

Speak of the devil. This just happend to me. What should I do? I don't know how I could've possiably overdosed. I actually think I've been underdosing. Could it be caused from the previous keeper? Or does it happen fast or slow?

I don't dust my feeders, (now I'm going to since I read mutivitamins are good and d3). I leave calicum in his cage. I hand feed him the feeders.
Hmmm

he will be okay. many geckos have this. some people see it as a negative thing others nothing to worry about. it's just calcium pockets either way leave the calcium dish in all the time. dust with calcium with d3 and dust will multivitamins twice weekly

So still keep it in there? Ok, well I took it out as I didn't want it getting worse... and they said to do that. I'll put it back in then!

Thanks!

Oh my gosh I have the same thing its behind the left front leg. Its like an air bubble. Only recently have I actually been dusting my mealies. And it got this. I thought it was a tumor or something like that. Scared the crap out of me. But my gecko hasn't been eating for days almost a week but its tail is still fat and it has a very round and chubby belly do I just not feed it for a while?

Can you post a picture? Spots had a bump on her front left arm and the vet said it was arthritis. I just wanted to see the picture to compare.
