Hi there! My bearded dragon just recentsly started to form these bumps on the top of its tail. I couldn’t find any information so if anyone has any ideas as to what this could be that would be appreciated! It feels like physical bumps on it’s tail. Thank you!!

Please post a pic of the tank set up-- it looks like I am seeing a colored bulb -- please NO colored bulbs they disrupt sleep and cause all kinds of eye issues -- dragons need a clear solid bright white basking bulb that keeps surface basking temps 95-100 for a juvie / adult and taken w/ a digital probe thermometer - they are the most accurate - a good long tube fixture UVB like a Zoo Med or Arcadia Pro T 5 - these are crucial to the over all health and behavior of your dragon - you want a 24" fixture for a 40 + gallon tank - I can send you links if you need them
I am not sure what those bumps are so I am going to have some one else take a look to see if they have some idea of what it could be ---
Examples of clear solid bright white basking bulbs are Flukers Exo Terra Intense or Zoo Med Repti Basking bulbs

I had another look at the dragon and this is what she has said and asked

It could be calcium related, possibly calcium deposits forming , might even be on top of fractures. Listing the type of lights as already requested and also what the calcium supplement schedule is might be helpful if anything needs adjusted.
