Fudge is now 9 months, do you think i should try to open his mouth to check the calcium sacs, or should i just leave him alone?
There is the risk of stress and dropped tail, i kinda dont think he would as he is outgoing but....

Nobody really likes having their mouth popped open
I think a kinky tail is a sign of calcium issues, so if its nice and straight, he's eating properly and really just acting and looking fine, i reckon leave him be

I wouldn't worry about it either, Fudge looks and acts like a perfectly healthy Gecko plus as he is still growing there probably wont be a right lot in the sacks as he is a growing boy. Its more of a thing to be checking in a sick Gecko or a female you want to breed.
