[QUOTE="nessasimmons, post: 2005831, member: 112899"] Hello everyone, My babies name is Rex. I adopted him from someone about an hour away from me in Dec of last year. He has a bump on his jaw that the previous owner claims was evaluated by an exotic vet and was told that it was a cyst. I wasn't too concerned about it since he was acting normal, eating good, exploring, etc. However, it began to get bigger a few months down the road. I brought Rex into my local exotic vet and she told me that it feels like an infection. She then later gave me some antibiotics that I injected into him every 3 days. It didn't do anything. Now I am scheduling a biopsy which will cost about $600. I am very concerned and worried. I just want to know what is going on so I can help him get better. I always wonder if there was something I could've done earlier to prevent this. He is still acting normal but with it growing in size and changing shape, I knew I had to get him seen. I have two other reptiles, they are leopard geckos. All three of them are in their own enclosures so I know that he is not bothered by them at all. He is 365 grams per his last visit at the vet yesterday. Enclosure: 4ft x 2ft x 2ft PVC Substrate: Peel and stick tiles (sanded down for grip and sanitized before applying them) Diet: Mostly greens (mustard, collard, turnip) Some proteins (dubia roaches, superworms, crickets) Lighting: 150 watt heat lamp (big enclosure, couldn't find a hide big enough to bring him close enough to his heat source so I upped the wattage) UVB: T5 HO 5.0 24" linear bulb. Temps: Basking - 90F cool side - 78F Warm and Cool end, hides on both sides. Plenty of enrichment and stuff to climb on. He comes out of his enclosure once to twice a day to run around and lay with me. Please let me know if there is anything I can improve on. Picture is from his old enclosure (75 gallon) [/QUOTE]
