I'm not sure how it happened, it could be genetic apparently, if that's the case he could've landed awkwardly when catching a locust which would've ruptured an already weak vein. He loves climbing though, so he may have fallen, although I don't really see him fall as he is pretty strong. I don't...

Hi, Sorry for not replying, I have been away and not been able to monitor this email account. I took him to the vets, and he knew what it was immediately. It is a haematoma on one of his main arteries. Apparently it was the biggest he had seen. He said he could operate on it, but because it is...

Hi, Thanks for the recommendation of Village Vets, I'll give them a call. As for being unhappy, that's what's confusing me slightly. He is a nice light colour all over and the other side of his beard is orange so I'm not sure whether the pressure on his skin is forcing the spines outwards...
