My crested gecko has a hump on his back.. He didnt used to...He eats crickets+occasional wax worms and mealies... Eating fine, decently active... So what is this hump from.? He was a while without babyfood... maybe this caused it??

Definitly lack of calcuim! Are you dusting the Crickets? You need to start. Try to find some liquid calcium and mix it in with his babyfood.

Don't forget he needs Vitamin D3 to absorb the calcium. He can get that from a good vitamin supplement or calcium supplement with contain D3. Don't use both with D3, one or the other, easiest is calcium with D3.
