We noticed a small lump on our dragon's beard. Not sure if it's always been there or not, we got him a couple months ago from owners who gave him up after 4 years. Just trying to be extra cautious. We've never fed him crickets.

Hello,

How long has the lump been on her beard?
Is it hard to the touch? A scale possibly could have gotten infected somehow, if a scale was
retained during a shed. Has it gotten any larger?

We aren't sure how long it's been there, but we don't think it was always there. He is currently in the process of shedding. The bump is hard but seems to be maintaining the same size.

Hello,

These types of bumps can be cysts most of the time. It's a little small to be a tumor but not
out of the question. If it stays the same size & isn't bothering her then you can take your time
& find a good vet to try & aspirate any fluids from it.
How is she doing today?

He's always in a good mood. Loves to be held, he slept with my boyfriend on the couch for most of the night. Ate some cucumber and apple, always seem to have a good appetite. I'm glad to hear it shouldn't be an immediate problem, we live in rural Maine so we'll have to do some traveling to get him to a good vet.

Pardon me for being nosy, do you mean on the back of the neck ?
Don't apologize! I'm here for questions as much as answers! It is kind of on the back of the neck, but off to the right side.

I really do need my eye appt. coming up on Thursday. :) I didn't even see your finger pointing to it in the first pic. It doesn't look serious, as Tracie mentioned just see if it stays the same or gets worse, hopefully just a little pimple like blemish.

Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
