Health & WellbeingThere is this weird bump on my leopard gecko’s nose. It’s shinier than the skin around it and kind of looks like a pimple. It wasn’t there yesterday. Is this something that’s normal, or should I be worried? Should I keep a look on it for a few days,
Thanks for reaching out about Salem and including pictures. This is not normal but appears to be a small abscess, possible from a piece of retained shed, trauma like a splinter or trauma from rubbing the nose on things. If he will let you, a warm compress might help organize the lesions. Likely this will open and drain, but if it persists, a veterinarian should be seen. Good luck.
