Has anyone seen this before?

[Eagor]

I have a crested gecko with a "hump back". I believe its a calcium deposit defect. He still walks, jumps, climbs fine. I was just wondering if anyone has ever had this defect before?

is that real?... or maybe a little bit of paint shop could help that out....
that dosent happen overnight..

I got him yesterday, i went into a pet store and they had him in a "closet like/ cabnet" with all the "unwanted pets"...(ya know just waiting for him to die)i felt bad for him, i figured id give him a good home instead of a closet

all i have to say is, OUCH

The girl said hes been like that for a while..it was her pet.she said its a calcium deposit...he doesnt seem to be any pain, he moves around just like the others.

wow.... dum pet store... we should put that pet shop in the closet!! errr...

but good for you! every creature does deserve a good home. way to go, to come to the rescue!!

.... or maybe someone else that couldn't take care of it dropped it off to the pet shop...

but regardless i hope the gecko is in a better place now.

I've seen an anole like that before, it lived a long, normal life. The back was even more deformed than this one, though. I think it'll be fine, good luck!

I figured if he doesn't live long, the time that he has in his new home is like paradise compared to the closet shelf.

I've seen things like that before, mostly caused by calcium defiency at a young age.
