Hi there,
Does this look like gout? I noticed this a few days ago and hoped it was pre-shed but now I am learning that gout is a possibility! Hampus gets salad every day and a 4-6 roaches or BSFL every other day usually. He also enjoys the Buffet Blend pellets from Flukers but still no more than 4-6 every few days - alternating with live insects. He wasn't eating greens very much for a while, but he is enjoying them again. This is happening on all 4 legs. Thank you!

That is shed -- they can swell at times to loosen the shed -- if it was gout he would be real touchy and it is painfull --

Hello,

That is just some swelling from the area getting ready to shed. The scales on top trap water in between
the top & underneath layer when developing. It should be fine once the areas all shed.

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. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
