Hi!
Joe is just under a year old and is a Mediterranean House Gecko. He eats and drinks just fine but I noticed a big lump on the base of his spine the other day. Any ideas what it might be? He is on a diet of small crickets and I ordered Zilla’s Vitamin Supplement spray in case it has to do with nutrition. I attached some photos but he’s so small it may be hard to see, has anyone experienced this before? 431FC8CB-B737-4858-B696-F24E1A96F583.jpeg

It is kind of hard to see. Some geckos have a spine deformity that develops as they mature. I have a gargoyle gecko that hatched looking fine. Now she's 6 and has a lump that looks like a base of the spine deformity. It hasn't been getting any worse after the first year or so. That could be it. If it keeps growing and looks like something attached to the spine, it could be an infection or a tumor.
