This is my leopard gecko Madonna, she is roughly 10 years old as the previous owner did not know her age but she has recently developed small black spots and a large one on her back (as seen in photos) which is causing her shedding problems, there is also some small amounts of black liquid coming out of these spots but she is not following symptoms of being ill such as unhinged jaw and liquid coming out of her eyes, it is mostly the large lump and how I stop it or remove it and the small black spots that I need to know about as I want to know if she needs to ben seen for them.

I have had no joy in finding out what it is on her / wrong with her but anyone who can shed some light would really help me out!

Thanks for reading and have a nice day :^)

Does she have a humid hide to shed in? Is your home extremely dry? She's obviously having some trouble shedding and possibly the black spots are places where she's scraped herself trying to get the shed off. As soon as you notice she's shedding, help her by spraying her gently with some warm water and then peeling the shed off for her.
