Growth on Beardie’s Tongue

Hello,
Poor thing, is she still eating normally? Since she is still acting normally, you could probably
put it off a bit, but most of the time, growths will eventually flare up, get infected & start to bother
them when they eat.
Do you have a vet you could get her into soon? You definitely don't want it to get infected. It
sounds like she may have bitten it & the growth is just the fleshy part of the tongue that got
damaged? Or, is it like a wart, mole or tumor? Is it hard or soft?

Yes she still eats normally. There is a veterinary clinic I can get her to. They’re not herp vets but they’re experienced in reptiles. Which is better than nothing. It looks like a raised bump, same color as her tongue. But with red like dots all over it, as I mentioned. Currently trying to get a better look at it and a picture. I’ll keep you updated.
It's good that she is still eating well. How long has that bump been there? It looks like maybe swelling from an injury but if it's growing or if it has been there for more than a few days it may be worth bringing her into the vet to have a tissue sample tested for anything malicious.

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
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
