Hello everyone,
I bought my bearded dragon around Christmas time, I figure he is about 3 months old or so. At the beginning of February, I noticed he has a bit of a lump under his beard. I tried researching and did read that they could store food in their throat but i dont believe thats the case. The lump hasn't really went down at all. Some days its not super noticeable but its definitely always there. When I run my finger under his beard, its very soft and doesn't seem to be causing him any pain or discomfort. His behaviour hasn't changed at all, He is still active and eating very well. I believe his terrarium set up is adequate, I have him in a 40 gallon tank right now. I know my UVB needs to be upgraded as I just have the Zoo-med 10.0 compact bulb. I have the 24" Arcadia T5 kit on order. But anyways, I attached photos of his set up and the lump. Is this something I should be concenerned about? If anyone could shed some light on this, that would be much appreciated Thanks!
