General Care Discussion :: Lump in the neck

[Ritihaas]

- My RES name is tiny he has a lump of tissue

beneath his skin at the neck near plastron I am afraid of any tumor

like but not able to find out what is it …..he is hyperactive no problem in diet .

eats variety of foods lovingly, but very little obase I m making it to work out 5 min daily ..

Can you post a pic? It could be an abscess or a scab of some sort. Most reptile/herp vets can take care of an abscess. How much are you feeding him?

[Ritihaas]

i feed him twice a day pellets, some times dried tubifex, once or twice carrot in month , sometimes lettuce , now i just started to feed him feeder gold fish

[steve]

Does she still have that lump? You can skip the tubifex and feeder fish.

[Ritihaas]

he dies on tubifex and feeder ....he still has it but i hope its got smaller now but i m not quiet sure about it

[steve]

Can you post a picture of it?

[Ritihaas]
