Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

What is this?
My husband bought me this awesome little hognose yesterday (I didn't know, and I've been wanting one forever) and today while I was saying hello to this cute, I noticed these spots. We have several other reptiles and I've never seen anything like this. I'm pretty upset about this and I'm thinking a vet visit is in order (even if this isn't serious). I would love some advice and opinions on how to handle this situation. Thank you.
And one more because she's cute

Can you get better pics without dirt on them? I'm having trouble seeing the spots you're referring to vs substrate on her.
Unless you mean like, the black scales? One under her jaw and one in the other pic?

The one on the neck doesn't look like a scale. A better picture would be good.

Yeah it almost looks like something attached like a tick would? I just wasn't sure what else to call it without just repeating "black thing" haha.

Hi! Sorry I haven't gotten back. We ended up just going to the vet. She has something like stuck in her scale on her neck and the vet thought she has some injuries from lack of prior care (he's thinking someone dropped her or something like that) and we have to go back after her next shed. I'm sorry I didn't get back with everyone sooner! He is going to remove whatever is in her neck after her shed, if it doesn't come out. He thinks soaking her and keeping her extra sterile will help her heal up fast. He didn't want to risk making things worse for the baby unless we have to. On an unrelated note we were the silliest people in the vets office with our little snek that didn't want to go in her box. She sat still on my hubby's hand the whole time and didn't even flinch at the dogs. Here are a few more pics. If you have any advice for us let me know. Thank you all so much!
Lump is off left side
These are a little blurry but you can see her spot. I can get some more pics when my hubs is home and I can mess with her w/o my small human helping  thank you all so much!!

I know, I feel so bad. I'm glad we got her though. I know we will do everything we can for her to help her heal. She's so sweet too. It like kills me that someone wasn't tending to her appropriately. Like she is so calm and nice. Thank you so much. I'll keep y'all updated. I hoping in a few weeks we will really see a difference.

I've read what the vet said but it really looks like a dead tick and that subcutaneous lump may be an infection caused by the tick.
