Need Help

[vctkiller]

I recieved 2 sunglows today. The female I got has two lumps at her armpit. I think they are calcium deposits. The male is in shed when I got him. At the end of his tail it was a bit bite off. Should i put neosporin on it? The tail didn't come off though. I was looking around the forums and saw this thread where their leopard geckos tip got bit. Mine is just the incy tip of it. What should I do?

The armpit pockets are just storage for extra vitamins, minerals, and proteins so they're nothing to worry about.

Does the tail injury look like it had just happened or is it already starting to heal? I would put a little neosporin on it and keep a close eye on it. It could be that he has a hard time shedding and bit his own tail trying to get stuck shed off.

Well I recieved them today. This morning at 10:30 am. The breeder told me that the male is in shed. Should I put neosporin on the gecko now or after shed? He didn't settle in yet.
I am also concerned about him. When I got him he was turned over thinking that he died, but I saw him breathing. So I quickly put him in his cage.

Here are some pictures of her tail. Underneath I could see dry blood looking like a bite mark.

the pic may be bad quality but I hope that you can still see the top of the tail like bitten off.

Do not put anything on that tail tip... There is no need... With small injuries like that, it is best to let the gecko heal on its own without your help... These animals are not as fragile as you think... They have strong immune systems and a very strong ability to heal at a very fast rate without human intervention...

It may lose the tip of its tail... Either way an ointment will not prevent this from happening...
