Lump on his jaw

[elliotdragon]

I'm after some help please, my dragon has developed a lump on his jaw and I'm really worried. Does anyone know what this is?

well it doesnt look nice. could you post some more pics from different angles, there are a lot of patches of shed on his head and its hard to tell what's what. The spot behind his eyes looks odd, but I cant tell if its just the pic angle and shed making it look that way.
As for that lump, it could be a tumour. Dont panic though, tumour does not mean cancer though they can become cancerous. I know this sound like the obvious go to answer but, a reptile vet needs to take a look at that. There are some things you just cant diagnose and treat yourself, better to err on the side of caution. The vet may or may not reccomend its removal.

I've attached a couple more photos, thanks for your reply. I will get him to the vet asap

whew, ok so its just shed behind his eye. Try to get him to drink some water, he looks a little dehydrated. Just put a drop of water on his nose every so often and he will lick it off.

Fab, thanks pal, will do. We'll get him to the vet in the next couple of days

looks like a small step of metalic bone dieses (i probably spelled that wrong.) feed him calcium and take him to the vet.
