Soft bumps above hip joints!

[Azymondias&Ryn]

Zym has some soft bumps above his hip joints and I was wondering if it’s normal. In some positions, it goes away completely or looks smaller but sometimes it shows like in the pictures below. He doesn’t seem to be in any pain or have mobility issues and he lets me touch them without issue. Is it part of metabolic bone disease because he does twitch which I’ve been treating with calcium rich foods and extra sunlight apart from his uvb bulb?

You have the long tube uvb now, right? I remember you mentioned before that you had changed his uvb light I think?

Yes, I have an Arcadia T5 which I bought a while back now. Originally he had a coil.

Hello,

Those are fat/fluid pads which are normal.
No problem at all, most dragons who are healthy, should have them.
