Hi Nathan,
I have no experience with that particular specie but
in some cases the matting behavior seems like fighting
and biting. it is a kind of courtship.
About the sacks, those are a kind of
calcium/supplement reserves. I have the impression
that this must be a sign of over supplementation.
Hope everything gets well.
Regards,
Pablo

<DIV>just a quick question about my female
pictus. i've been feeding every other day with
dusted crickets and she's got additional supplements
in a dish in the cage. she's laid about 2 dozen
eggs this season so far with no problems. the
problem stems from the male that's in the enclosure
with her. about 2 weeks ago he became very
aggressive with her and bit off her tail. she
would hide and not eat so i removed the male to a
separate cage. there were plenty of hiding
spaces, fresh water, lots of space in the original
cage and only those 2 geckos. now that the male
has been removed it seems as though the female is
still gravid but not laying and she's got a
blister-like (water-filled sac) growth in her front
right "armpit". can anybody tell me what this
growth might be and why she appears to be gravid but
not laying?</DIV>
<DIV>thanks,</DIV>
