My female beardy has a small bump growing just above her hind legs on her back, it dosent seem to bother her and shes eating great and no other problems, shes going to the vet next month to get it checked out, but any advice on what i can do to help her out?

Actually offspring,
Yours is at the tip of the tail, if im right, and thats a little kink at the end.
Kappa: Are there any other cage mates? she could of been bitten? If you could get a pic that would be better.

Yea she has a cage mate but it really dosent look like a bite, ill try and get sum pics i took a few but none show the bump, it really dosent look like a bite because of the location of it, its abover her legs and on her lower back rather then tail. (The other beardy has shown no aggression)

Have you noticed the lump getting bigger?

Can she walk normally? Is it discoloured? Does it look like kind of like a wart (outside the skin), or more like a boney thing (beneath the skin)?

There's a few possibilities. It could be MBD which sometimes causes spinal cord deformities. That's a pretty remote possibility though if you haven't noticed tremors and muscle weakness.

There could be an abscess, an infection under the skin. Or it could be a tumor, cyst, wart, etc. It's best to have a qualified reptile vet do an exam and perhaps a needle biopsy.

Good luck and keep us posted.
