Red bumps on Chinese water dragon?

Question

I got a chinese water dragon close to two weeks ago, and it has begun developing little red bumps on it's stomach in the last week or so. Does any one have any ideas as to what this is?

The CWD is 17.5 inches long right now and is starting to show signs of being a male.

Answer 1

i found something on the internet, it was someone asking about bumps on their beardie though

"If you are talking about some bumps on the tissue just north of the cloaca, then we might be talking about exaggerations in the scales found there. I have seen some mature males with what I would describe as thickened scales in front of the cloaca. Some lizard species possess femoral pores and precloacal pores, but bearded dragons aren’t one of them. If the small bumps are symmetrical and not red or infected in appearance, then I don’t think you need to worry.

However, because I cannot offer you a simple explanation, if you have any concerns, and I suspect that you do because you took the time to write in to me, then the next step should be to make an appointment with a herp vet in your area to have your beardie examined. If you never taken the lizard to a herp vet to have an examination and fecal parasite exam, then this is a good idea, anyway. That way you can put your mind at ease, and ensure that your beardie buddy is in good health all around!"

since it said "as long as they are symmetrical and not red or infected in appearance, then I don’t think you need to worry." sounds like you might need to take your CWD to the vet. Good luck! =]

Perhaps the bumps are the little red mites under the scales. Take him to the vet.

Answer 5

My male used to get that when he was ready to shed, but the humidity wasn't high enough. From the looks of his skin in the picture he is close to shedding. Do you have a UV light? They need those no matter what to stay alive. Also, make sure there is a lot of moisture in the tank, and enough hear. If you have a humidity and temp thermometer, the temp should be upper 70's lower 80's and th humidity should be 80+. If they don't have the proper conditions they can lose fingers from not shedding properly.
