Not the right place but...

Hello all!
OK so my older brother has two jumbo leopard geckos and he doesn't really pay too much attention to them... that's where I come in! A few minutes ago I realised one of the geckos had a large bumb under its arm. Would anyone happen to know what it is?

Hard to say without a proper exam. Abscess, swollen lymph node, tumor. It could be lots of things or nothing at all

So what do I need to do?

 

[Nursemaia]

Minimally monitor him for any changes in behavior or see if the bump grows or schedule him for a vet checkup

Ok thanks!

That should be on both sides and they are completely normal! They're just a place your gecko stores extra calcium, vitamins, what have you. Perfectly normal!!

Ok, but I checked the other side and on the other gecko and he didn't have it...

Some do and some don't. And sometimes these deposits will go away and return. It just depends on the circumstances! No need to worry, I have 3 leopard geckos

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much!

If you want to try and get them to go away, remove calcium dishes and see if that helps. If your gecko is overweight, cut back on food and they may go away. Either way, they're not in any immediate danger.
