My dragons have a bump on thier mouths?

dragonlady1954 May 23, 2003 11:54 AM

I have 2 dragons (appx 9 months old) that have a bump on the tip of thier mouths. It is hard and very light in color (almost looks like a pimple)and doesn't seem to bother them at all. We hand feed them Repcal dragon food every night and greens etc 2 or 3 times a week. They have been on Reptile carpet since they were about 6 weeks old. Does anyone know what could have cause this? They have had these bumps for a long time but I just thought I would ask if anyone else has dragons that have these bumps.

Do you have an all glass aquarium that they are in that they can see out of all four sides? A lot of times the dragons will bump into this when they're running around and will cause such a bump on the tip of their mouth. Does any of that ring a bell?

That is exactly what I have. An all glass aquarium, and I have, on occasion, seen them looking at thier reflection and trying to get to dragon they see in the glass. Thanks for the insight!!!

Yes, but bigger. Not huge but about twice the size as what you show in your picture.
