I noticed this the other day but didnt think much of it as sometimes he gets an enlarged throat area prior to shedding. But today I got a much better look at it. Its very hard and moveable but attached. I looked in his mouth and you can see the lump pushing into his throat. I dont think abscess as I dont see an area where he injured himself. Guess I will need to find a local herp vet to take a look at him... my poor lumpy boy! (dont mind his nose rubbing bump too)



Any suggestions?
