    Need help with one of my spiders

    One of my male spiders have what appears to be a lumpy body. It wasn't like this when he hatch out and over the past few weeks it has gotten worse, He is an 07. All others have a nice smooth body, but one day I noticed a small hard lump on his side in the area of his high white coloration. It's not on his back or belly. He is eating well and is very active. but when you run your fingers down both side you can feel these lumps that seem to go away and then come back. Any sugestions?

    Best bet get it to a vet . Could be a tumor or inpacted is he pooping regular?

    Everything is regular. Pooping and eating that you could set your watch by every week. He is as active as the others. If you run your fingers down his sides you can feel these lumps. If you push on them they go away and then come back and it doesn't seem to bother him at all.

    Even if the cause can be diagnosed over the internet, it would be best for you to take him to the vet to make sure, and recieve any possible treatment the vet may have to offer.

    Good luck with the little guy, i'll be thinking bout him.

    Thanks Ben. That is the plan but just hoping to get some input from others that may have had the same problem or to maybe even help someone else.

    Take it to a COMPETENT VET who knows reptiles. Not all vets were created equal!
