Hello, it is possible that he is impacted. They will get lumps on their back of they are impacted. Has he pooped recently? If so, how recent? If he has been going to the bathroom normally he wotn be impacted. call your vet and take him in for a checkup.

Expertise
I can answer every question towards the bearded dragon except for questions that deal with sickness and disease. I can answer questions on heating and UV rays, the questions pertaining to food, habitat, bedding, breeding, egg/hatchling care, nature, and attitude are my best. Last, I cannot help you with at home sickness meds, always find a vet within your area. I can answer questions regarding body language and movement. I will try to help you to the best of my ability.
Experience
I have owned 7 bearded dragons. For 6 straight years, I have had my first male and female that i have been raising. Raising my male and female have been such an experience! Breeding them was also a great experience! After my male passed, it made me realize that raising them was one of the best experiences of my life and still currently is.
Education/Credentials
I have no educational cedentials, but i have constant history of bearded dragon research.
