Hello. First post here. Basically I posted this on other forums as well but I've gotten no suggestions or even ideas as to whats going on with my little guy. But first, just for reference I've been keeping various reptiles for a long time, and have had a few horned frogs. Currently I have two adults (one is cranwelli and the other is a fantasy) as well as a small Ornate.

I purchased this Ornate in early Feb of this year. At the time he was the size of a water bottle cap, and I did notice a SLIGHT curve where his spine/butt ended. You can see that slight curve in this photo, which was taken when I got him or around that time:



He ate like I champ so I didn't worry. Now fast forward and I start getting concerned about a month ago because his growth rate is just nothing. He hasn't grown at all. His diet is usually crickets and I use Repashy ICB to dust. Anyways then yesterday I move him to clean and notice his once barely curved spine now looks like THIS!:





Sine he usually is sitting on his butt, I do not know when it got this bad. I just KNEW the not growing (yet eating) was a problem but nothing else was wrong until I found this. It looks like it's almost poking out of his skin, and his movements are a bit different then normal.

Does anyone have any idea whats going on here? It's almost as if his spine as grown while nothing else on him has or something.
