Exclamation Bump on GTP's jaw

Hi guys I got a GTP at an expo last week and just recently started handling him/her. I noticed on its lower jaw a little bump. I know its not scale rot or mouth rot. I even checked the inside of its mouth and it looks normal. des anyone know what it is? The camera doesn't pic it up at all and doesnt even show.

The bump actually went away after she shed. I brought her to the vet anyway and he said she looks fine but to keep an eye on it.

She has a humidfier thats on a 2 hour on/ off cycle during the day and i let the cage dry out at night. It didt look like a blister so i doubt it was that. Anyway its gone now, lets just hope it doesnt come back!

Re: Bump on GTP's jaw

dont know about a water blister might been one, but i see GTPs that get bumps on there skin because the humidity is too high, i spray my cage about 2 to 3 times a week and let it dry out good, been doing it for 3 years now, but i seen people spray everyday and there GTP is good. i would just keep an eye on it to see if it comes back.

Re: Bump on GTP's jaw

My GTP is still young, pre coloir change, i spray twice a day and the cage dries inbetween the spraying. Directly after spraying the humidity is about80%.

Re: Bump on GTP's jaw

This thread seems to be a spam magnet, so I regretfully had to close it.

Somehow it is getting targeted by spammers.
