White lump on chest, spreading?

[Amie]

Hi! My partner and I just adopted Amadeus from an older family member and discovered this large white lump on his chest. We noticed another small one beside it and are not sure if this is a healing wound or something else. Please help!

Hi there, once it sheds you'll be able to see more clearly. Right now it may seem larger because the shed is lifting away and of course the color makes it stand out. Beardies do develop lumpy chests which are termed " beardie boobs ", but they still at times may develop a tumor on different body parts. Can you give him a warm 10 minute soak and gently use a toothbrush to see if the shed will come off and then see if it looks so bad ?

 

[Amie]

Yes, I will do that now and see if it shows anything and post another picture. Thank you.

Alright this is post bath and toothbrush. Nothing came off but his belly colour seems to be similar after the bath. I have heard about the “boobs” but am just concerned. Thank you for looking at this.

Hello,

That is definitely shed areas on the lower belly, & likely right there on the right side under
the arm somewhat. Is it crunchy or crackly sounding?

No it’s not crunchy it’s more smooth and pocket like as if it had air in it but is drained now.

Also he shed about a month or so ago if that helps.

My partner just mentioned to me before the lump formed there were two small knotches in the centre as if they were puncture marks.

He has quite the cute dragon belly!
