Anybody know if this bump is
a problem or not?
She is going to the vet on sunday so I wanted to get your guys
opinons on it first.

Just Kidding,,, I would definitely get that one checked out. Does it bump it's nose on the cage allot? Has it been in a wire cage? If the answer is no to both those, I would guess tumor.

Good luck, I hope it's nothing health threatening.

I just got this bd from a science teacher. I believe she ran back
forth along her cage a lot of the time. I think in part it was
because she had no hide in her tank. Thanks for your guys help.
I'll post a follow up to on sunday to tell you what the vet said.

SOme science teacher!! Obvious doesn't know how to RESEARCH on how to care for a reptile. From your description, seems like that bump could be caused from banging against the walls of the cage alot..probalby injured the skin, allowin infection to set in and swelling. Your vet should be able to get a better Ideal what it is and how best to treat it. Antibiotics will work for infection, he may also drain it too, if that is what it is. Good luck to you, he looks like a really nice dragon too.
