Lump Concern

[JakeTheDragon]

Hey everyone!

Jake has this lump under his arm, I don't think it's a "beardie boob" because it's not the same on the other side. I know he's got stress marks, I think mostly because his vivarium was moved and lil dude doesn't like his house being moved.

The lump is squishy and it's not always there, he doesn't seem bothered when I touch it and his behavior is pretty normal. I also had his poop tested not long ago and it came back negative for anything.

I hope I'm just being paranoid and other thinking it.
