Lumps Under Legs

[volvotech]

Noticed some lumps under my 9-month old male bearded dragon's legs today.

The lumps are on both back legs, but they aren't showing up anywhere else on his underside. Have other owners encountered anything like this? He isn't acting different and doesn't appear to be in discomfort. Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Looking at the pictures now, the lumps almost look like small warts. :?

Not 100% what we are looking at but, I see the femoral pores.

Quick google search brought up this:

Thanks! Femoral Pores it is.

Welcome. They tend to be more prominent in males but, this rule doesn't always hold true.

Just kinda wondering what these femoral pores are? What do they do and what are they for?

Hello,

The femoral pores are full of a waxy substance & are used to release pheremones during breeding season. They can rub the substance on the ground or surroundings to mark their territory & or attract females.

I recently noticed my beardies glands on his back legs seem a lot more prominent lately and are possibly blocked with the waxy substance. Is this abnormal and do you reckon it's worth gettin checked out?
