I have an older leopard gecko he is about 7 years old and a rescue. Today When I picked him up I noticed he had an odd thing of both him front "arm pits" it thought they were tumors but they aren't lumps they feel like fluid but don't feel hard and he isn't mad or in pain so I really have no idea what to do. I also thought it might just be him getting obese. Any help would be greatly appreciated. He is like my baby and I want him to be healthy and happy. Thank you.

This is pretty common, but it's hard to tell for sure whether something is wrong without a picture. If your gecko is particularly "well fed," :) he is probably just storing excess fat and fluid behind his armpits. Many leos do this, and unless there's something else that's unusual, it's most likely nothing to worry about.

Sir Henry the dragon
Looking for his dragon girl
Ventures out in to the wide world
His hopes are up but as you can see
There is no dragon girl for Sir Henry
A light bulb goes off and he takes mom aside
Could you perchance get me a mail order bride ?
