do you mean the darker brown spot? I'm pretty sure that's there version of a belly button. It goes away with age I think.

Hello,

That could be a mite possibly, or a bite of some type. How long has it been there?
Have you bathed him to see if it will come off, or no?

It reminds me of an belly button, and don't think its a mite the cage mate does not have anything and yes they have bathed and nothing came off

 

[daner923]

Hmm. Still not sure. However, you said cage mate... it is really really REALLY not recommended that you house two dragons together. They are not a social species, and it's possible that the spot on his belly is an injury from his "friend", which could just be the prelude to a much more serious, or even deadly, attack. One will dominate the other, or they will fight. And it almost always ends tragically.

Reptiles don't have belly buttons. Thats something that only appears on creatures that are live born.

while they may not technically have a belly button, animals that hatch from eggs do have an opening in the abdomen wall where the yolk is absorbed through. The last of which is done within hours of hatching for chicks. In chicks, this is a mechanism to help them while their nest mates hatch over a period of several hours to a day. It enables them go be able to go for approx. 24 hours before needing to be fed. I'm not sure for reptiles if it works the same, but the yolk is attached in the same manner. This area is normally closed entirely before hatching, but occassionally it has not yet completely absorbed or closed, thus leaving an opening in the abdomen. But, after a day or so, it should close and cover over with skin if properly cared for and kept moist so it does not dry out.

This could be the remnants of a poorly absorbed yolk or the area not closing properly. It could be somethiong entire different. I'm basing my reply on my knowledge and exprience in hatching chicks.

I hope you find out what it is, - maybe a trip to a vet is warranted.
