I've got a 10 year old male beardie that has a mass on his chest about the size of a nickel. It is hard to the touch, and doesn't seem to move under his skin. I'm embarrassed to admit that we just noticed this today, despite fairly regularly giving him baths, and handling him. (We typically don't flip him over.) No idea how long it's been there, but I think we would have noticed the size and hardness of this lump before too long, so it's probably pretty recent.
Aside from the lump, he seems fine. He's eating his gut-loaded crickets, beardie-safe veggies, he's drinking, he's alert, and his color looks good.
Due to Covid, our vet is not seeing patients outside of emergency cases. The cost is $250 just to walk in the door, treatment will be considerably higher. I will pay it if needed, but wanted to reach out to the experts here first.

Thank you so much for your time!
