Any idea what this is?

Ok before anything the second tail is normal. I'm just wondering what that pimple like thing is on the base of her tail and she is pregnant and I dont want her babies to get hurt. It looks like it could be filled with some kind of puss or water maybe? So if anyone has and idea what it is please tell me.

Thanks TY

WOW. It could be an abcess forming, or depending on how long the 2nd tail has been developing... it could be a 3rd tail?

What is an abcess?

First of all, a second tail is not normal.... an abscess is mostly formed due to an inflammation. I would take the animal to the vet and probably he/she will cut it away and put the animal (Coleonyx variegatus if I'm not mistaking?) on antibiotics. Most likely the eggs will not be harmed by the treatment, but you should ask your vet. Good luck with it and keep us informed!

Greets,

It does look like an absess of some sort...but why did you breed her when she has a deformity?
