Rear leg darker and more stiff.

Sage's rear left thigh is dark and stiff to the touch. His right leg seems normal and squishy.

Any ideas what might be wrong?

Hi there....that is just a patch of unshed skin and will eventually come off, no worry at all. It's very common on adults, and even sub adult dragons.

Is it normal for the muscle to be stiff when the scales have not shed?

 

[AHBD]

Do you mean that he can't use it well ?

He seems to move fine, it's just much more stiff (not just the scales on top). He's started to shed it this afternoon so I'll see how it feels once it's peeled.

EDIT: He loosened up after shedding the skin and all is normal.
