What are these dots? I just notcied them today. They seem to be slightly swollen around the dot. Any ideas?

They're femoral pores. Completely normal, males generally have larger ones, and they can tend to get bigger as they get older. I believe they're used for marking territory and letting females know there's a male around.

Thanks from me too! I just noticed those exact marks on my Piggy the other day, couldn't get a decent enough picture to post though.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
