so first of all, great site you all have here, the posts have been really helpful since I really didn't get much of a care sheet when I got my plated 3 years ago.

So recently my plated has developed a really muscular swollen area near its pecs (makes it look like it's posturing and puffing its chest out at you). Now, I'm pretty certain I haven't seen it do this before and it certainly wasn't there a few weeks ago.

Right now she's being fed a garden green mix with either meal worms, science diet dog food (maintenance right now), or crickets and its food is supplemented with a Zoomed supplement.

I'm actually thinking it may be a stress response mostly, since we recently acquired a cat a month or two ago who has now gotten big enough to be able to jump up onto the top of the cage and look down on the lizard.



Anyone know of this occurring in their plateds before? Or have any experience with something similar?



Keep up the good posts guys.......(best resource I've seen so far for these plateds)
