As a matter of fact, it is a good thing. Those are fat pockets, which means your leo is fat and healthy.

First off, I do agree with the other posts. This is really common and is a sign that your leo is not underfed. I would consider feeding a little less per sitting though - with the potential to live 26 or so years, fat can have time to lead to other problems. Haven't seen any research on this, just something to consider.
Secondly, Seems like you are taking good care of your gecko. You noticed the fat deposits as something unusual, and weren't afraid to ask about them. I suspect you have one luck leo there.
