mangrove health frustrations

Just when you feel like your getting the hang of it, something pops up that makes you feel like the biggest novice in the world. I swear its times like thses I feel like just throwing in the towel. F*ck.
Im stumped. I have a pair of Mangroves. Both are near 3 ft in length and about a few months shy of being a year old. The female is in superb condition, and so WAS the male, however tonight I realized that hes developed a slight curvature in his lower spine. Also, the backs of his hind legs appear to have some bone deposits. You cant really tell unless youre looking for it, but its there. I just dont understand how I went wrong. Heat, calcium/ phosphorous with every feeding, lots of room....
Im gonna take him to a vet in a couple weeks, when I can afford to shell out the cash.
What the f*ck did i screw up with him?? I am soo stressed out by this. Why cant things just go smoothly?
Sorry for venting, Im really shaken up by this though.

Thanks,
Michelle
