2 month old with bumps on the Side

[ISA my Veiled]

Hey guys I have a little bit of a worry going on. I bought little bubba from PetSmart this past saturday, all has been good, he's been eating fine, I see him drinking water, he is pretty active for the most part. My problem is on his left side right about where you would see the top of his rib cage he has two bumps...They don't bulge out to the max but you can notice them at times and at certain angles. I couldn't get any good pictures of it earlier because there wasn't enough lighting. I do not want to take him out again because he seems to really hate it a lot. He calms down right away but I will let him be. Also when I was holding him trying to catch pictures of his side, he would close his eyes for a few seconds. He did just wake up so I am assuming he was making a resting place out of my hand. Hopefully that is the case here. Anyway here is the help form.

I know that you tried, but a pic would really help. Try again in a bit...

I did try and again he closed his eyes while he was on my finger. That really worries me a lot.

 

[maxttu]

Does he close his eyes in his enclosure or only while being handled??

I have only caught him closing his eyes while I hold him, never in his enclosure.

Interesting. I'm lost on this one. Sorry, bud.

Here are some pictures, you can really see in the blurry one where the bumps are that I am bringing to attention.

 

[maxttu]

Calcium deposits? I'm not sure, man.

 

[ISA my Veiled]

Me either. Anyone else?

 

[ISA my Veiled]

No one has any ideas?

Sorry about no one getting back to you, Okay here the thing she has broken rips, has she fallen outside or inside her cage? some people in the forum are going to tell you other wise but trust me my female vield had the same thing and no one had a clue or didnt see what was wrong with her, but w.e try not to handel her at all and if she looks like gasping andhaving her mouth open alot go see a vet because broken rips can turn to respiratory infention, mys thank god did no happen to her but do please keep a clossed eye on her suplement her with heavy dusting of calcium NO D3! ( IDc what the vet or anyone says ) next make sure u try to feed veggies or hornworms because they are 100% calcium and right now thats what she needs but please do not handel her anymore because it can become worse, i got my female at 3mon old and she now a year old and still has those bumps on the side of her but she fine and i love her to death just make sure you suplement her right n that goes to the feeders as well

You are just setting her bones. This is normal.

It is a he first off lol but thank you for the response, I havent handled him at all besides those pictures and another time. And yes he did fall about half of foot out of my hand the other day. THat is probably what caused it but he isn't bothered by it at all and does his thing everyday. Hasn't had a problem at all. But thank you very much for your advice! I will be sure to dust the piss out of his feeders lol I will make a new feeding cup today because he has no interest in the one I have right now. He has been eating but not as much as I would like to see especially for his age, Again thank you!
