I just recently purchased a group of young leopard geckos het for Tremper albino giant. They all have these weird bubbles forming behind the front legs. If anyone could explain what these are I would really appreciate it.

Cool Thanks I was all worried they had some disease or something. I took them out of my herp room cause I was afraid they would give it to my leachies or my cresteds.

It's definitely a good thing. Those "blisters" are fat deposits and are only a sign that your geckos are in good shape. Just keep in mind, bigger doesn't necessarily mean better. If they grow too large, you may consider cutting back on food intake.
