Swollen neck?

Good morning! I've had my bearddd dragon for almost two weeks now. I was checking him out this morning and noticed two lumps, one on each side of the neck which I've never noticed these before. I don't know if these are normal fat deposits that bearded dragons have or if this is a sign of some type of infection. As a mom, as soon as I saw this I thought of swollen glands, do bearded dragons have lymph glands in the same spots? I got him from a pet store where they were only feeding him every other day, could it be that he's now eating several times a day and starting to store fat or is this not normal and something I should be worried about? Thanks for your help! The first picture is a 4 way split, the two top pictures were taken today and the two bottom were taken two weeks ago for comparison.

Normal .... all beardies have saggy jowls more some than others.

Thank you so much! That's a relief!

Have a great day!

So adorable!

As mentioned, totally healthy looking neck, nothing to worry about. Sometimes they will even store food in their beards and make it look swollen.

Hello,

He is maturing & will develop that area as he gets bigger. So, they are completely normal
development, no worries!
He is very beautiful.

He's such a little cutie!!! Enjoy it while he's little and adorable, they grow up so fast it's unbelievable! I adopted a 4 week old male leatherback I named Dee Dee about 3 months and a week ago. He was so tiny when I got him, and now he's almost 4 months old and he's already huge!!!

Your little guy will most likely be a big boy, I've noticed with a lot of beardies, including my own first beardie who was a male, that if they have those big jowls early on, the y seem to end up being very large adults with huge jowls! So don't be alarmed when his neck blows up, lol, it's perfectly normal!

Noooo, I don't want him to get big fast lol. He is absolutely adorable little, I can't stop staring at him!

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it!
