Hi, sorry about the title, wasnt sure what to call it. Maybe a growth or something?

My beardie has been acting completely normal, nothing out of the blue at all. He opened his mouth earlier and i noticed there was a pink lump near his tongue on one side of his mouth. Its hard to see because it blends in with the colour of his tongue and inside of his mouth but its noticeable in person.

Is this something to be concerned about? Hes been eating/drinking normally and I dont think it seems to bother him at all.

He is 6 years old, he did jump off from the top of his log yesterday in his tank so unsure if he may have hurt his mouth during that. I checked on him and he seemed okay, the drop is considerably small but he is on tile instead of carpet or soft materials

If pic is needed, can you tell me how to post it?

No it posted -- we need Tracie or AHBD to take a look at it and see what they think

It doesn't look too bad, but I'd keep a close eye on the size of it. It's possible he just bit it and it swelled up a bit shouldn't be a huge deal. If he is eating normally that's a good sign. If it starts to get larger or starts to affect his eating, then I'd have a vet check it out.

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
