About five days ago I noticed a small pink lump on my iguana's face (in between his eye and nose). I decided to wait a couple of days before calling the vet, because he was not behaving like he was sick. His activity level, and eating habits have been normal. When the lump didn't go away, I decided to call his vet. I haven't been in contact with the vet for about 9 months, and when I called, her number was not in service anymore. I found out through the local reptile store that she had moved to St Cloud MN, but they didn't have a number. I have been trying to locate her, but to no avail. In the meantime, the lump has gotten bigger. Now it is the size of a small pea. He is still eating, pooping and behaving normally, but I am very concerned. Does anyone out there know what this lump could be? Or know of a good reptile vet they can recommend in the Minneapolis MN area? I am worried, and don't know where to turn!! Thanks!
