    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Is this girl too fat?.........

I've mentioned this before, but I really don't feel that those are actually pockets of fat. At least not how what I've seen. Only one of my geckos has ever developed these pockets, and she is the MBD deformed girl. When she first developed them, it is just under one arm, it felt and looked more like air to me. I really don't think I can agree that they are pockets filled with fat. This girl is healthy, and getting chubby but she still has room to grow in her tail. As I understood it the fat pockets develop after the geckos become very large/fat. I guess the point of this is that I just don't see the fat pockets, I just see odd air pockets.
 
Yea, they look and feel like little pockets of air. Does anyone if someone did a study, or if it was just assumed that they were fat pockets?
 
i thought the same thing, they only feel like air to me, and i couldnt figure out what they were, but then someone told me they were fat pockets, unfortionatly i cant remember who it was, and i obveously dont have anything to back it up with. so if any one else wants to let us kno why they feel like air, and not fat, id appreciate it as well as every one else here.

i agree, as i turned 30 this year. i have had more than my fair share of time to examine my *fat pockets*. I wish they were more like the geckos.

I dont' know about the geckos...but in people obesity is something that can be genetic. It can also be genetic as to where fat develops...All of the women in my mom's family, including me, have basically no chins because we develop a lot of fat in that area...we joke about jutting when having pics taken...LOL Sorry for going a bit off topic there...

As far as overweight leos...I definitely think its possible. In other animals obesity causes NUMEROUS health issues...and I see no reason why it would be any different for leos...heart problems, birthing difficulties (might it increase chances of eggboundedness?), mobility issues...etc.
 
Hey Howard, I used to have fat pockets!!!

Now there just empty!!!

:crazy03:

Have you thought about a "pin"?

Hey Kristien!....if you ever think you might want to start a home for poor deformed wayward geckos I have a candidate!!! :duck01::crazy03:
 
overton
you bring a smile to my face almost daily. keep up the good work. without your humor, i think a bunch of us would be wound to tight.
thanks howard
 
and yes i have thought about lipo, but i would prefer to buy a boa or python or something that can put its own weight back on.
 
Overton- I'll start a home for poor neglected geckos, and I'll take in some deformed ones on the side! My deformed gal is doing great, so I must have done something right. Now, it's your turn to take car of the freakishly deformed! You amuse me...
