Bearded Dragon - nodule on her side

22 14:38:06

Question
Hi, Tracie:  My adult female bearded dragon has a small nodule on her side, which I noticed during a recent bath.  (When she is dry, it is almost completely camouflaged.)  It looks like the "receiving end" of a snap (on a shirt collar or skirt waist).  Have you heard of anything like this in the past?  She seems very healthy -- alert, inquisitive, good appetite, etc.  Many thanks in advance for your thoughts,
Diane

Answer
Hello Diane,

Is the nodule external, like what a mole would look like?  Maybe you could send me a picture to my home email.  It is  Drache613@tampabay.rr.com
I have seen some bumps & nodules before.  Is it hard or soft?  It could be a cyst or an abcess of some type.  You should probably get it biopsied at a vets to see what it could be.
Let me know how things are going with her.
