Thanks for the backstory - I wondered what caused the lump. He gets around well on that wonky leg. Here's a picture of him from March 2016:http://www.pbase.com/clamflats/image/162856094

Great photo of him. Gosh, I wish I had a happier physical diagnosis on how that leg healed. A shell fragment got stuck in the band and leg, I fortunately recaptured while injured, removed the Shell fragment and hope he healed up nicely. I didn't add any antibiotic or alcohol which would have made a cleaner healing process I believe. Anyway, he didn't breed all last year but this year he is our first nest of the SNPL season 2016 in all of Florida! And now, I carry cleaning alcohol and antibiotic cream in our banding kit
