Under arm Bubbles, Fatty Question???

jack7777766 Jul 22, 2003 08:52 AM

Im curious I know that the bubbles under my leos arms are fat stores. But shes only 7-8 months old.
When they get this is it usually their weight limit???
Can she get bigger??? Or will she stop growing at this point?

Also what happens if she keeps eating allot do bulges come out of other places or something???

Thanks
Jack

mostly just the tail and under the arms but they will get slightly obese to. I have seen some just gigantic tails on them. At that age she still has some growing to do I would say she is just well fed and healthy

Why there? does it happen with most loes, its doesn't sound very atractive

Yeah, completely normal in a well-fed gecko. In addition to tail reserves they also get what is called "fat pockets" under the arms. =)

I took Sunshine out today to clean her tank up some and she is developing them too. Is it bad, she is about 5-6 months old. They arent huge but I can tell she is getting them.
