Hey guys, umm I have a baby bearded dragon, about 1 1/2 months old. It has what looks like swollen testicles buy we don't know for sure. Had anyone had this type of problem before?

A good quality close up to show us might be helpful.

Can be hard to tell the gender of a very young hatchling unless you know what you are looking for.

how do you upload pictures?

This is how I do it.
step 1
connect the "camera" to the internet connected computer

step 2
upload image/s to TinyPic

step 3
grab a copy of the IMG code created and insert this into the post you are creating

Can include several images in a single post this way.

I don't recall any of mine looking like that there.

Maybe one of the more experienced people here will have some insite.

Further thoughts :I had seen something like that elsewhere so I checked my books and found something similar in "The Bearded Dragon Manual" by Vosjoli etal, p138 , the swelling looks very similar to your hatchling's swelling so it could be an abscess in the hemipenal region.

Would be very wise to make an urgent appointment with an experienced reptile vet , at least to have a biopsy taken and to determine if it requires a surgical intervention.

Thank you very much kingofnobbys, I was thinking it might be something to do with the genitalia but I'm in no position to guarantee it. So of to the vet we go. :)

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
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
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
