I noticed that my bearded dragon had something popping out on the side of his tummy it is very noticeable specially on an empty stomach. I tried feeling it out but it feels like its connected to him like not just a little ball. He is in a 60 gallon tank and I use an exo terra 2 in 1 solar glo bulb 125 watts his diet consists of large dubia roaches with every other day sprinkled repti calcium and also kale.

i dont think it might be a rib cage he is well fed and even on a full tummy when he is sleeping the bump is popping out of his body

Hello,

It is hard to tell by the pictures, but it does kind of look like it could be a lower rib.
It is a bump sticking up from his body though?
Is it hard or soft in nature?

I think you need to have a vet investigate this -
>> may be a broken rib
>> a cyst
>> a bloodblister
>> an abscess under the skin
>> or and I hope not , a small cancerous growth.

Xrays , scanning ultrasounds , and a small needle aspiration will be indicative.

Best to deal with now while it's very small and relatively easy / simple and cheap to remove / treat.

It feels hard and like it comes from within his body but of course i dont wanna be poking my finger inside of him and hurting him but it looks like it comes from within why it worries me is because he does not have it on the other side and it pops out like an abnormality

Click to expand...

make an appointment with the local REPTILE vet.... it needs to be investigated by a professional.

I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
