Calcium sacks U.Sikorae

[scintillatingstar]

Where are the calcium pouches on a Uroplatus Sikorae? My female has these two bubble type things on opposite sides of her necks. i just noticed them. I am assuming they are calcium related or were always there and i never noticed. I have pics, but they aren't the best. Not to mention, she was being quite pissy and bit for the first time ever! Its 3:07am right now so i'll post them tomorrow. However, any advice or guidance on the matter is appreciated!

They may be fatty deposites

Jillian,

The calcium sacks/chalk sacks are on the sides of the neck just behind the jaw. They will definiteley be more noticable from the underside of the gecko. If you have Svatek and Van Duin's book, Fig.40 on pg 33 has a photo. If not, pm me.

If they are indeed calcium sacks, that's usually a good sign of things to come!
