Olive bumps

[Jungletrans]

One of my olives , male 3yrs , 7 foot , has had recuring bumps for months now . They are pimple size , under his scales and evenly spaced at 2 inches [ approx ] apart . Although there is no indication of mites , on him , in cage or in water , spraying him with mite treatment makes the bumps go away for a few weeks to a month or more . Dont just say " VET " l know l should take him but l think of that just after spraying him [ getting old and scattered ] . Any ideas ?

Does the spray make them go away or is it coincidental

They go away imediately after spraying , have done it 6 or 7 times now . They dont go till sprayed and stay away up to a month .

The only thing I can think of is tapeworm cysts it is possible they react to the mite spray though this is just an uneducated theorie

That could be . When l bought him some of his clutch mates were suspected of being wormy .
