: Eureka....maybe! I was at the pet store getting my supplies and decided to look thru some of their reptile books to see if I could find a picture of that lizard Blkwido has been trying to id over at Acme. Didn't find it BUT found a picture of a lizard with black spots on it!!

: They looked quite similar to those in the picture you posted. In this case they were WARTS or �viral papillomas. I did some searching on the web and came up with an article that mentions warts on reptiles. Found another article that tells how to biopsy specifically for warts on dogs. I'll leave both of those for you. Unfortunately, I didn't think to write down the name of the book I was looking at.....so in the a.m. I'll call them up and get them to tell me. Been trading with them for years now so they won't mind helping me out....she was trying to help find that lizard LOL

: I hope this will help you. I re-read your posts on this and they didn't mention that your vet thought of warts being on reptiles. (Who knew?!?)

Thanks a lot iguanamomma, checked out the two cites, and you're right she idn't mention warts. The strange thing about these spots is when she biop them the two that were raised leaked a clear bright green sera. Thank God Cirsis is doing fine, but now a yr later and not the "best" have figured it out yet makes me even more curious.I asked her if they were contigous and she didn't think so and my tw BDs don't appear to have them.I keep elling myself these are new pets to own and they don't know that much about them.Small consellation.
