I am concerned about these bumps. Should I take him to the vet? They are like lumps but I dunno... thnx for any help u can give me. the reptile

::Handfeeding is a great way of bonding with your ig but as you may have noticed some of them get spoiled to the habit and don't want to eat any other way. This can be a problem if you have to be away and are not there to feed them. You need to wean him off of this habit now. Back off on the handfeeding til he starts eating on his own from the bowl. A normal ig is not going to intentionally starve himself to death with food available. Once he is eating from the bowl you can resume some hand feeding of treats on an occasional basis. The bumps on the stomach concern me. Igs do not store fat on their bellies (we should be so lucky!)but in their tails.
