My beardie Clyde is about 5-6 months old (pets mart lady didn't know exactly how old he was when I got him but knew he was younger than a month) and lately he has developed a lump on the base of his tail and seems to be having problems with his bowel movements. He got the lump about 2 weeks or so ago and I didn't think it was more than him getting bigger and maybe was about to poop. He acts normal but seems to poop a lot less and really hasn't been as active as usual. Does anyone know what this could possibly be? Or how I could fix it? I want my beardie to be happy again and healthy. Thanks in advance!
Background on Clyde:
He used to have another beardie to accompany him named Bonnie but she turned out to be a he (thanks pets mart for misguided info) so Clyde ended up trying to be dominant and killed him by depriving him of food and water and the heat / UVB light. Speaking of those, he has a heat lamp and also a UVB light to keep him warm and get the UV's needed. He eats and drinks from the two bowls that came with his decoration kit. His water is always fresh from purified water bottles and purifying sink taps. His diet consist of crickets, meal worms, fruits, veggies, and grasshoppers. He has a pets mart brand sand at the bottom of his cage which gets cleaned out by a poop scoop made for dragons.
If you need to know anything else just let me know. I'm sure I'm missing some stuff but I am farely new.
Here is some pics of him and some of us both. ( I love taking pics with him lol)
