pockets or something else? (pics) male gecko

[snakegirl]

i noticed my male getting lumps behind his arms. i looked around and the best i could find was "pockets" as people call them. however i just want to make sure thats it and he is ok or is it something else. he acts 100% walks,eats,...does what ever normal geckos do. sometimes if he is laying there you can clearly see the bubbles under his arms as he moves you can barely notice anything. one side seems a little bigger then the other he doesn't mind me touching them at all they just feel like nothing...just skin i stopped with D3 but i dont know if i see any change. what do you think and what can i do to bring it down???

I have both males and females that look like that. I've always assumed it was from calcium. It's usually my bigger males that have them.

Nothing to worry about as those are calcium pockets.

He looks like he needs a bra!!

But that is normal in very healthy leos that have stored up nutrients. It's actually a very good sign that they are doing well in your care. However not all will get these pockets, so don't go over feeding your geckos to try to get these, some just don't get them.
