Hi everyone, one of my shinglebacks has a small lump on the bottom of one of her feet. I noticed it a few weeks ago and it was pretty large and swollen back then, its slightly gone down a bit now but i don't know what it is? She eats like a pig as per usual and is showing no signs of pain. Anyone got ideas what it could be?
 
Is it possible it could have been a foreign object stuck in there? Do you let it free range in the yard? No retained shed around it blocking circulation? An image would help but it would be difficult to achieve. Maybe a vet trip is worth a go before it gets worse again?

Good luck.
 
Yeh i let both of them roam the reptile room every few days and sometimes i take them outside but i always watch them...i don't know how it could have injured itself...but if it gets worse i will take her to the vets. Thanks
