Has anybody ever seen a bulge behind a gecko's front leg(s)? Seems to be filled with fluid if anything (it's not hard). In this case, it's only on the right side. She doesn't seem to be affected by it, at least in that when we've touched it, she hasn't responded any differently than if we had just touched behind her leg - obviously she moved, but didn't look to be in pain. Nothing about her living conditions has recently changed, and thusfar she's been as healthy as can be (grew from small juvenile to 8+ inches long in about 8 months). The only odd thing about her behavior is that after she got to be 8-8.5 inches long, she suddenly stopped eating as much. We've talked to other people who have geckos and they've said that this is at least semi-normal, as she's reached adult size and therefore doesn't need to eat to grow anymore. Anyway, any information that anybody out there has would be helpful - this one doesn't seem to be in the book.



Thanks!
