Growth on Tail?

Hi
So I’ve been to two different vets (exotic) and both said pretty much the same thing, just kind of looked at it and said they’ve seen things like this on other BDs and it’s just a little growth, etc. But the growth has changed since then, it has grown in size and is pinkish. I’m coming here for information on it, hopefully. Her name is Liz. It feels like it’s growing around the tail and where it first began has been growing longer, okay, it’s expanding and getting bigger, pretty much. It grows very slowly but it’s definitely getting larger. She’s had for quite a while, probably 1 and a half to 2 years now. And it does seem to hurt her, if I press on it she pulls her tail away, but if I press on a different part of her tail she doesn’t.
Liz is very much alert, eating, happy, and going potty no problem.:)
Thank you!

It looks like a cyst, maybe a vet could do a fine needle aspiration to see what they can draw out. Other than that it's just guessing.

Hi,
So it turns out it's an old break! It's just swelling for some reason.

Her skeleton looks great! Which makes me very happy! And I'm glad it was nothing worse and not infected!
Thank you all again!! And have a great day!!

Hello,

Great picture on the x-ray. I'm glad it wasn't an abscess. Is your girl doing alright now?

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.

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
