i have a veiled cham 2yrs old he has developed two large symmetrical bumps between his eyes they first started appearing a few months ago. he does not appear to have any other obvious symptoms but the last couple of days i have caught him with his eyes closed during the day so looked them up on internet i found a ite that said two lumps on the head between the eyes is one of the symptoms of sinus infection or upper respitory infection? and that a vigorous course of antibiotics is needed to clear it. so on reading that i took him to the vet tonight, he is a normal vet with an interest in reptiles, the first thing he said was it may be normal, i explained what i had read about it poss being URI. he said he would pop out the room to do a bit of his own research, when he came back he said it appears to be normal said he was really healthy in great condition and that it is probably a sign of maturity or even horn buds! PLEASE help! i dont want to risk taking his word for it and losing my cham at the moment he i eating and drinking as normal so if he is ill i need to know now before he gets to ill any advice gratefully appreciated thanks sally.
