I just got a male Sunglow Leo from a guy here in town. I got him home and noticed he has hat looks like little air bags where his I guess arm pits are. I tried to take pics and it just wouldn't show. I have never seen this on any Leo I have ever had. Has anyone else ever seen this, should I be worried?

Yes, there are many posts about this, you can search before posting to help us not sound like broken records. 
But we are here to help, to clarify: They look like small water blisters, correct?
There are some arguments about what is actually stored in those deposits so I will let you read all those, but it is the sign of a healthy adult. The only thing to watch for is the blisters tend to develop at the highest "healthy" weight of the gecko, so watch for any unnatural movement or difficulty moving or excessive tail fat. Normally, it just means it is a very happy and healthy gecko.
Other than that, you've most likely gotten a good specimen there. Have fun!

My bad I should have searched the forums better. Thank you for answering though, I feel much better now.
