Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

My Leopard gecko has a bump under his armpit.
I just noticed that one of my male leos has a bubble under his right armpit. Looks like a sac filled with liquid. It's soft to the touch and similar to when you burn yourself and get those bubbles under your skin. It this normal? I've never seen it on my other geckos though. I have him housed in a 20g tank with a female on playsand and the hot end is at around 80F. Maybe he's not warming up enough? Could this be a respiratory infection? I noticed he sleeps near the bathroom corner so I've been cleaning it daily since then.
I can't afford to take him to the vet because my mom was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and I spent all my money on her surgery scheduled for next week. Could I just get a syringe and drain out the liquid? Anyone know were I could talk to a vet online for advise?
Thanks.

you don't need to do anything he is just storeing extra fluid and it's no problem but keeping leos on sand in my opinion is a no no

So this is completely normal? I started noticing it on this other armpit today. He looks very healthy and has a thick tail. He's also the most active gecko I've ever owned. He's always up and about and jumps all over the place. Been trying to get him to impregnate my 6+ year old female but haven't had any luck. I got three other males that might do the job. As for the sand thing, I hand feed all my geckos or feed them in a separate bare bottom container in order to avoid impaction.

No. O_o
Maybe someone else posted the same question. I'm going to do a search.

It's probably a well fed little guy that needs to go on a diet for a short while or to start actively courting .

Same thread - there were several responses (Seth's, as well as those by groovygeckos, Drache613, and KelliH) that were lost during the recent server move.
Unfortunately, I don't think that they can be retrieved, so hopefully those people will repost them.

Ahh I see. I'm not getting the emails that notify me if someone responded to my thread either.

Yeah I got two a few days ago saying that Randolf and Seth had responded. Randolf's response was there but Seth's wasn't. I have it set to instant email notification.
