I don’t know if this is of consequence, but she has also been keeping her right eye closed a lot lately. I’ve examined it, and can’t find any sign of debris or damage. She does open it when she’s surprised, like when I pick her up, but other than that she keeps it closed. As a last bit of information, she laid her first clutch of infertile eggs about a month ago, if that’s important.
My questions are, what is that bump? Could it just be a skin callous? If it’s something serious that involves surgery, what are the odds that she’d survive surgery? As for the lack of appetite and weight loss, any ideas? Could it be brumation already??? Is it dangerous for her to lose 20 grams(she’s 16 inches long) Finally, should her eye concern me, or is it normal beardie behavior?
I have attached two pictures of the bump as well as one of her closed eye, hope it helps.
Thanks again for any help
