My partner and I recently found a bearded dragon that was lost by a neighbor. The original owner moved to another state so are not able to take it back. We have decided to keep it but noticed that it has a white lump/spot on the "beard" part of it. Does anyone know what this is?

I do not know what that is other than something fungal? possibly -- please get her in to a reptile vet www.arav.org it needs to have a skin scraping to see exactly what it is and how to treat - --- make sure you have correct basking temps 95-100 taken w/ a digital probe thermometer --- NO stick ons and correct UVB NO coils they are the worst for UVB's --- if you need more help please ask and DO NOT listen to the pet store people they will sell you stuff that is harmful or useless to the dragon --- we can help on this forum so please ask if you need help

I had a experienced person look and she said could be a cyst or burn that didn't heal right w/ the scales- how close is the basking bulb no closer than 6 inches- I would find a reptile vet I sent the link and get him in
