Well, I'm not very familiar with cham anatomy, but I don't think this bulge is part of his reproductive system. He's got those other bulges. This bulge is about 3/4 inch long, and extends from his vent down his tail. It looks like a mass, or some kind of internal blockage. (Sort of like a balloon as it starts to get streched with air.) It has clear borders and covers both sides and the underside of his tail. I don't have a picture, but I've never seen anything like it on other chams or in pictures. I'm taking him to the vet tomorrow and I was hoping somebody might have a suggestion.

What is your opinion about hand-feeding? My guy eats very well, but only if his food is offered by hand. He won't hunt
