I just purchased my little man "belly dragger" a few months ago now. I was given a great deal at a shop.. 300$ for 2 bearded dragons both with impressive morphs. I just had to buy them. The other is my female leather back that I also have posted on my account.

It might be tough to see has he just ate but on the right side of the image above. Its protruding out.

Anyway I noticed a very strange shape to his left side a few days after I got him and more than not it looks way worse than that. Even though he seems really healthy and eats like a monster. I am just a bit concerned long term or even if this could potentially be genetically involved as I have plans for him in the future.

I've owned bearded dragons now for 10 years even from little babies and I've never seen this before. I'm thinking maybe he was lacking calcium in his diet prior to me getting him.

I was referencing the post I made in regards to breeding. Which you wrote under less than minutes ago. She is the reddish one. All the pictures above are the same dragon which is not the dragon below.
