 Lump?

my fence lizard has a lump by his butt/tail area. someone had said maybe he was becoming sexually mature, but the lump is more prominent on the one side. i was thinking maybe hes impacted, and if so, what should i do???

My lizard also has a lump in the same area. He is not very active either. Is the lump his testicles descending? Will the lump go away after mating season? Should I get him a mate? I stopped feeding him because I thought he was constipated. I guess I should feed him now that I have an idea of what is going on with him.

Take him to a vet if there is any chance of an impaction, you’ll be glad you did! Two of mine died from that!
