I have a baby beardie and I just noticed his left side of his stomach is hard and also almost feels like bones are poking out. It’s very strange and I’m not sure exactly how to explain it. He doesn’t seem to care at all when I touch it, he is eating great and pooping regularly and all his poop is normal. No black beard ever and just overall a very healthy normal dragon aside from this. I don’t understand at all. Has anyone experienced this? You can kind of even see it poking out in the pic
No, nothing to do with the color. I can actually feel it
It looks like his ribs in the picture if those bumps are what you mean
Yeah but there is a hard lump that it not on the other side as well. And it almost feels like his ribs are broken or something. I have an adult bearded dragon that I had since a baby and I never experienced this before. The other side is normal however the left side something is definitely off
If that is the case, you should bring him for an emergency exotic vet appointment.
It may be anything from impaction to cancer to nothing.
Dragons are prey animals, so they often dont show any sign of pain or illness until it's too late to treat.
If we notice something odd, it's always better to get them to a vet, even if they dont really seem to be in pain.
If you're talking about the darker spots, it's probably patterning.
