He looks very tiny:)

The dead feeder on the leaf above him is almost as big as his head!
Why is there such a large feeder in with him?
Make sure he is not getting bitten by those large insects:eek:
 
Is there any chance one of his trees drop sap? it slick clear part might be sag, but that does not explain the white in the bump. I would call a vet and ask if they think you should bring him in. If we know more we hight have some ideas. For now could you copy and fill out this form as completely as you can?

You should supplement with plain calcium every feeding, calcium with D3 twice a month, and multivitamin twice a month. Repashy Calcium Plus is technically both a multivitamin and calcium with D3, so you may be able to use it four times a month instead. Not sure if anyone has tried this. I alternate between calcium plus and herptivite.

The only problem I see with what you listed is over-supplementing.

Can you get a picture of the bump that is larger and in focus?

Thanks!
