Enlarged dewlap? Angle headed dragon

[yeah1526]

I just noticed today my female southern angle headed dragon has an enlarged dewlap (thta flap of skin under the chin), or at least its a lot bigger than it has ever been.
after some poking and prodding it seems like theres something in there. feels like eggs!
however, its not breeding season..
she hasnt eaten for over a week, and im always sure there's no left over food in the enclosure, so it shouldnt be food.
She didnt seem to be deliberately displaying it. she was just sitting high up on a vine, doing nothing.

heres a photo from earlier this year to put it into perspective

here she fell asleep against the branch so you can see something sticking out

You need to open her mouth and see if there is an infection. & take her to a vet, it doesn't look good.

It looks like maybe some bark was lodged in there.
Btw, they do not produce or store eggs in their dewlap

Actually it still is a concern. Reptiles do do not get harmless unexplained lumps. TAke it to the vet

Sorry for hijacking the thread with absolutely nothing usefull to add to the topic, but I just can't read passed the title without hearing Lisa Simpsons voice in the back of my head saying "hump and dewlap... hump, and dewlap". Hmmm... perhaps I do watch far too much television
