hi i have a male african and he seems to have 3 or 4 large watery lumps on the underside of his wings he is not flying.just wonderin if anyone has had this b4.

 
Did he just molt? The wings fill with blood when they form and sometimes you get those bubbles. Don't worry about it as they usually dry up on their own.

 
They should. If he is acting normal otherwise just let him be and he should be fine. I wouldn't handle him right now either.

 
Do you know if it a male or a female? I believe large or gravid females are unable to fly, due to their heavy weight. And also if the wings did screw up in an unsuccessful moult, that may also prevent it from flying.

Cheers,

Ian
