Big Round Lump on Beardie's side

Greenrealtor · Dec 2, 2008

I'm worried. My 3 year old dragon has a very 1/8th inch round lump about an inch above his hind leg on his side. He doesn't appear to have any discomfort from it. When touched it feels perfectly round and doesn't seem to bother him. It doesn't appear to be getting bigger and appeard practically overnight. Any thoughts?

My initial thought is impaction. What kind of substrate do you have him on?

He is on recycled paper. But he was on sand when I got him 3 months ago. It doesn't appear to be in his gut. It seems almost like a tumor or could it be calcium problems?

Can you post a picture? my dragon has something similar, about half a cm above from his tail he has a protusion sticking out his side, its hard and doesnt seem to give him any discomfort I'll try and get some pictures up to compare

is it on his back or on his tummy?

its protruding on his side visible from the top and the bottom, so when he lies flat and his skin hangs around it making it pretty obvious almost like a triangular rock under his skin, Id never noticed before his problems (listed in another post on this forum) so it could be nothing thats why I wanted to see a picture for comparison

I posted a picture. He doesn't appear to be bothered by it but I'm sure if I should do something about it. Thank you for all your ideas, insights and suggestions.
