There is a pink bump on my pink toe and I am not sure what it is. I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out what it is. It is at the start of her abdomen.

If you can get another shot I suggest you do, I cant see clearly what it may be

That's pretty unusual-looking. It almost looks like a cyst or something. Could you get a clearer image?

I think it may have something growing on it.. a parasite or something.

If it is a parasite is there anything that I could do to get rid of it.
Very unlikely, and you'd have to know what parasite is there.

The pictures aren't that good, out of focus etc, but the last one was ok enough for me to say something looks not good at all. I've raised a lot of Avics, various species and unknowns too, never seen that on one at all. It does remind me of a cyst sort of. Can't say for sure because the image isn't great. The fact it's getting larger is not good either. It could be a weakening of the exoskeleton, Ts have this, it will bulge out, some die, some don't. In my case I stop feeding to minimize size of abdomen.
Your pic sorta looks like there's an open hole, which would be crazy, because it would be dead if that's the case. Need better pics.
