I brought it in 2015 and now I have a leopard lizard that is about 9 years old. I’ve had a small red bump on my abdomen for a while now and it’s getting bigger. What disease is it?

The color of the lump was like blood, and the texture of the skin felt a little hard, like a little lump.

I’d take to a vet to check.

I agree. A vet may be the best course of action.

While it doesn’t look too bad at the moment, the fact that it has gotten larger is a sign you need a better check. It doesn’t have the look of a typical infection, but looks like there is some sort of blood pooling at the site.

This could have been a simple injury that caused a large bruising over time like a blood blister of sorts … But there’s also the chance of it being something like a sarcoma. Both of which would be best to speak to a vet about where to go next in treatment.
