My leopard gecko has little holes behind his arms

Question

can anyone help me they look like indentations in his armpits?

Answer 1

what your referring to are known as axial pockets(mite pockets). the theory is that they evolved these pockets as a way to limiting the damage done to them by external parasites like mites. by providing a spot for them that is more resilient to the damage caused by external parasites.

Answer 2

That is very normal in leopard geckos.

mine has them too.

Answer 3

those indents are very normal so no need to freak out every thing is ok mine has 'em too
