Well, he's about a year old, and we feed him crickets that have been fed Layna hen food, which is calcium and vitamin fortified. He is my mom's pet, and she doesn't dust the crickets because she says that the food for the crickets is enough. He has about a 4' foot tall 2.5' wide and 2.5 foot long cage with two plants in it, which are schefflera arboricola . It says on the bulb that we use that it is a "Fluker" brand and also says 100W 120V. The lamp we use is about 10.5'' in diameter.



As for temperature, it's around 75-80 degrees F in the day time and 65-70 degrees F in the night. He's been having this problem for about a week now. It started after we had to clean his cage because there was an ant problem in it. We rinsed the whole cage with just water. At first I thought he was just stressed because we had rearranged his cage in the process, so I didn't think much of it.



Then I inspected him and found the bump on his arm. I looked at him again this morning and also noticed a bump on his back. He spends most of his time in the pots, or falls to the floor.



I did a little more research online, and it's becoming more and more likely that he might have MBD. I hope this helps, and if there's any more information that you might need please ask.
