Oh Gosh.. That's horrible looking. I don't know anything about being able to tell if that is a birth defect or injuries of some sort but either way.. If it's a birth defect then a pet store had to buy him from someone.. Why would they pay for a guy like that? Not to sound mean but it's going to make them look bad and who knows if they'll ever sell it. Or, if it's an injury I can't even begin to think of how that could happen..

Poor thing..

Sad indeed. :(

Actually this pet store is known for breeding their own of different species...so I wouldn't doubt it was a birth defect. Still though..I feel so bad for the guy. The one hump guy was breathing so hard and it looks like his spine is almost at a 90* angle inwards...The girl working there was like I can open the top if you want to hold one! *big smile*
me: Um...no thanks, just snapping some pics...*runs*

Cull it in a hurry, looks painful.
