Lump on Bearded Dragon under mouth

Question
I do not believe he was taken very good care of previously.  She used a regular light bulb for his light.  We use ZooMed UVB.  She also fed him mostly lettuce, and not other types of greens.  We know not to do this.  He does get around just fine.  He seems very normal otherwise.  We do not give him oral fluids, and he has started to shed some on his face, so that must be why his legs are a bit puffy- because he'll be shedding soon.  Any idea how much it would cost to get that cyst removed if that it what it is?  Thanks Again!  You've been a great help!

Answer
Hello Shelly,

Yeah that is too bad when they are not taken care of very well before you get them, as it makes it so much harder to reverse any health problems once you do get them.  
I imagine he is just going to shed, but let me know if they continue to be swollen after he sheds.  
Well, I would think it would most likely run at least $400-500 or in the ballpark range.  It should not exceed $800.  Or, you might get lucky those are just average prices but sometimes, they will give you really good prices it just depends on the particular vet.  
Keep me posted on him.
Thanks!  :-))
