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.

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
