I think I may have noticed this before, but it never registered. I have a senegal I received as a birthday present on the 9th of Feb. So he's still pretty new.
He was basking after I misted, I guess he didn't feel like being wet! That's when I really noticed the subtle protrusion down his right side. What's odd is that it seems to line up with his ribs, but that could be coincidence.
Also, I think he's just too skinny, but I've been trying to work on that! I'm not quite sure how much he should eat a day, and he definitely prefers to free-range, which is stressful to me, because the crickets don't just stay at his level on the screen. I recently got some superworms, and just today before I misted, I dropped on on a leaf in front of him and he ate it, so I waited a bit and gave him another. That seems a little more reassuring, though I do see him eat crickets.
Here are the pics. He turned around, which made the lighting alot better, and gives a comparison.
He hasn't been to the vet yet because I'm trying to figure out where to go (I think I've figured that out) and also, I'd read that while it's important, it's a good idea to let them settle for a bit, first. I'm not sure how long that would be, though. I should probably call this coming week, and whenever the can fit me in will be long enough, I guess?
