I just noticed tonight that my beardie has a large lump on the back of his neck/head. It is the size of a standard marble!
I didn't notice it there at all before today and I hold him at least a few times a week and almost everyday when I can. He has always been under reptisun 10.0 and temps are 105 at basking spot. He is two years old.
I did put a new log in his tank a couple weeks ago and realized that a bunch of crix were living in it and he hasn't been eating them all so quickly due to a little brumation. I am wondering if maybe a cricket tried biting him. I hope tumors don't grow that quickly. I am going to keep an eye on it for the next couple of days as this is the worst time of year for a vet bill. I just don't have any extra money right now (when it rains it pours). The lump seems a little hard but not like a rock and he doesn't seem bothered at all when I touch it or rub it. No signs of pain. His color is good and his eating is normal for this time of year.
Any help or experiences are much appreciated.
