Angel Alvarado, LVT · Accepted Answer

It does appear to be an infection, injury or abnormal tissue. Ideally, Rock should be physically examined by your veterinarian or a vet experienced in treating reptiles. The specific treatment will depend on the diagnosis. A bacterial infect will require antibiotics, a fungal infection will need anti-fungals. If it is abnormal tissue, a biopsy maybe needed to diagnose it. For now, maintain pristine water quality and proper environmental parameters. Make sure she continues to eat and behave normally.
