Strange Bump Around Lower Part if Back near Tail

Postby falcon42 » Sat Aug 22, 2020 3:13 am

Hi guys,

This is my first post so I am not sure how this works but my bts has a strange bump which doesn’t seem to be effecting him, although I am pretty sure it has been there ever since I got him at 2 months old. Please see the pictures below to see if you can help me and my bts Benny. Thanks. :thumbs:

Oftentimes lumps like that can be a sign of metabolic bone disease but with a skink as young as yours, it's likely a birth defect.

Thankyou so much. I had done research about that disease prior to posting this but I just wanted to make sure that it wasn’t the case. Have a good day!
