Bump on syrian testicles?

[Kreeture]

Hey guys, so I noticed this bump on my syrians testicles and I'm not sure if it's normal and just his man parts, but wanted to make sure. It's just a pink bump, no redness, and he doesn't seem hurt or anything. Doing his usual running on wheel, eating, drinking ect. Thanks sorry if this is a dumb question, just never owned a Syrian and he was kind of just put in front of me and I took him in cause I had the space and extra food, so I ask to be sure!

I think it would be worth the vet looking at it, and no question is dumb.

The only problem is, I don't have any exotic vets near me, the only one I know that takes animals besides cats and dogs is 3 hours away. I'm going on a trip to see my dad in a few hours and won't be back for a while. My grandma will be watching him for me and she doesn't drive so I can't pay her to take him for me I did tell her that if he starts to be lethargic or any weird actions to call me and I'll come back if it's an emergency. Do you think he'll at least be okay until I come back in about 2-3 weeks?

The testicles are very mobile in the scrotum and they do move up and down. Sometimes they look like a peanut pushing out! Is he quite young?
It does not look red there. A lump or cyst would stay all the time. Check him at various times and see if it comes or goes and feel if it is hard or squishy or just feels normal. It doesn't look unduly abnormal to me but I have not examined him and pics are hard to go by.

Oh! I didn't know that! Is it normal for just one testicle to do it? He doesn't let me handle him without biting me, so testing it will be hard but I will try! What's the normal feeling supposed to be, hard or squishy? And as for his age, I am not sure. I went to PetSmart to get a few things for my fish and hermit crabs and saw him in one of the cages with a very sick hamster so I asked to purchase him and to have them take the other to a vet. So I'm not sure how old he is

He looks quite young to me. Maybe 6-8 weeks. You need to tame him to get him easily taken out and checked. They just feel like firm tissue and should not be red or full of liquid sort of thing. They often stick out like that just the one when they are warm or relaxed usually just out of bed!

Thank you!!! I'm working on taming him! He let's me stroke his back, and he eats out of my hands, he just likes to bite me and jump out of my hands when I tried holding him only two times, so I'm trying to order a playpen type thing that I can sit with him in and hopefully that works!!

And warm would make sense because the temp change has gotten warmer, so that actually makes me feel better about it. Thank you so much!

Has it gone now I had exactly the same thing when I first saw it but it kept coming and going and it was his testicles. If it disappears and comes back then it probably is them.

Does it look like this? This was our lovely Charlie (RIP) sitting on his porta cushions (as Souffle calls them ) and relaxing

It's hard to tell on your photo. If you get chance to take another photo it might help - if it's gone then it's probably his man parts
