 My female Gecko has huge growths on her neck..

she started to get these "tumour" like growths on her neck on both sides a few months ago.. They have come and gone but now they have stayed. I am worried and am wondering if anyone would have any insight as to what they could be?

I think only a vet could say for sure, and it’s probably best to get her to one as soon as possible. Good luck and please keep us posted.

Calcium deposits are on the cheek, not the neck and they don’t look at all normal to me, although I’m certainly neither a vet nor an expert.

Its been along time since I owned a gecko, but I heard about the storage of calcium before too...I would still bring it to vet just to make sure. Then you can let us know and we can reference your photo as the gecko with calcium deposits.
