Strange lump on beardie

[Aaliyah]

Hi everyone, I'm new to owning beardies. I got this little guy from a friend a few weeks ago and I've noticed a strange bump on his underbelly. He does not like me touching it but does not get aggressive when I do so. Does anyone know what it is? I'm really worried. He's around 6 months old

Not sure what I am looking at here - can you post a pic of the front of the belly

I see a small lump --- it looks like hes getting ready to shed on the belly -- not sure what that is - I can have someone else take a look at it

I'm not sure either.

Does it feel like it's attached to the skin or something internal? My first thought was a broken rib but it's just a guess.

Hello,

That probably isn't anything broken but just appears to be his bone structure/sternum area.
Does it protrude to that extent when he is flat & not vertical?
Does it seem to bother him any?
