Do these look like mere fat deposits folks? Noticed these blister looking things developing on one of my leos. They are soft to the touch. I understand that they may sometimes develop fatty deposits here, but this girl is a pretty light eater.

What gives?

Hi!

I just found the same thing on one of my girls in the exact same place. She seems healthy and is still eating well, and she is as active as she has been since I got her a few weeks ago.

We thought that maybe I was giving too much humidity causing a water bubble? I keep a humid hide in the cage, and I will also mist them about once a week.

Hope someone can give some direction!

Thanks,
Susan

I wish I could help you guys with this one. I think a vet visit might be best if you dont find any info soon. ive never seen anything like it.

Wow I just found the EXACT same thing on one of my females when I was weighing her,and I rembered this thread.I THINK it is a water blister.I put an egg laying box in her cage bout a week ago and she spends most of her time in it.I hate to take it out she is full of eggs.Three people with the same problem...

No worries. They are indeed fat "pockets". My females get them every year when in their "off" breeding season despite eating very little as the OP stated. Good Luck and Happy Herping

I agree 100% with the last post. Nothing to worry about and certainly nothing to run to a vet for! They usually appear on adult females with fat tails, it is merely an additional place to store fat reserves. I have never seen them on a thin gecko.
