So I have a rough-skinned newt (if his breed matters) and today I noticed he has a circular lump just above his back leg. I hardly ever see him unless he's on his climbing log because his cage is in a dark corner of my room and I have really bad eyesight. I'm worried that this is something that has been growing over time but I missed it. He also hasn't moved from his log for the past day or two (he does that a lot), is that normal newt behaviour? I also never handle him (I'm clumsy and scared that I'll squish him by accident) so idk what to do if I have to take him to the vet. Please help!!
