The "bubbles" behind the legs just mean it's a very healthy gecko. They are fat bubbles that means your gecko is well fed. I'm not exactly sure bout the "loose skin". You'll have to explain it better. I wouldn't worry though.

It sounds healthy because it has fat pockets and loose skin means it could be getting ready shed

If its wrinkly like loose skin, it may be dehydration. Hard to say really, but best to check just in case.

Most likely it's just about to shed.
