I recently got a Diamond off Vitozzi, and its got a lump under his head on his throat which appears and goes away and sometimes he has a bit of foam that drips out of his mouth, and makes a sort of spitting/hissing sound ??? Im really worried.
Thanks.

Sounds like it may have a RI. Keep it at a constant 30-31 degrees and get it to a vet ASAP.

Yes, once it reaches an advanced stage, if left untreated, it is almost certain death. It sounds to be quite advanced in this case, so i would strongly advise you to get it to a vet tomorrow if at all possible.

how old is he / she.
How long ago did you buy it.
Contact the previous owner and see if it has ever had any problems before.

its about 18months old and i got it off a mate who is on these forums, i actually swapped it for a yearling spotted plus $100 though i havnt paid him yet. So ill see how much the vet is going to be before i pay him.
