x2! If it's not going away on its own, it might be time for a vet visit. If it is an abscess of some sort, the vet will be able to safely get it open and apply medication.

BP2, that is exactly what his looks like! But not as big. Luckily I do know of a vet nearby that deals with reptiles, but I may keep an eye on it and see what happens. But I will sacrifice the money for my Noah if need be. If it is an abcess will it get larger? Would they just drain it and give his abx? What are the chances it could be from cage rubbing? He is in a 32 qt tub. Hides most all the day but what he does when I am asleep I have no idea.

My big girl has the same bump, she got it from rubbing against her tub. Hers isn't solid though (it's not like a callus), so I've been thinking about applying a warm compress to it once a day to see if it will go down. I've needed to use a warm compress on my other normal girl who gives herself exterior swelling by rubbing too (only her swelling is on her tooth line and not the bridge of her nose), and the swelling goes down nicely.

Re: "bump" on bp's nose
Abscesses get lanced, cleaned out, removed, and stitched back up...antibiotics to prevent further infection.

Re: "bump" on bp's nose
my female pastel has the exact same thing. She ate like a horse from the time I got here a year ago at 300 grams and hit 1000 last November when she went off food. She "woke up" about 2.5 months ago and still has not eaten and today I noticed the same bump as the op had. I was very concerned to say the least. Does anyone have more info? Any more info is much appreciated. Thanks

Simple nose rub , might go away might not, it's simply cosmetic, so long it's clean, no redness or oozing you are good.
