My five year old dragon has developed sores or something on the under side of his hind legs and around the genital area. (see photo's) I don't know what they are and I am very concerned about them. They seem to be resricting the movement of his hind legs and I have no idea on how to take care of this and I can't find anything similar on the web. Please, PLEASE help I am very worried!!

Those are typical male pores. I doubt that they're the cause of his lack of hind leg movement unless they're sore from mating or rubbing, and they don't appear to be.

You are still dusting it's food periodically with a calcium powder containing vitamine D3, aren't you? Might try dusting a bit heavier and every meal for the next few days to see if his condition improves. If not, take it to a herp Vet.

Best wishes!

I'm not saying this is the case, but when my male leopard geckos start to develop the waxy secretions (ready to breed) they start to walk weird by rubbing those pores on the ground.....essentially dragging their hind legs.

I'm guessing they do this so the waxy secretions leave pheromone trails for females and/or other male rivals.

Not all leopard geckos do this.....I only have two that I have seen do this, and it was in direct response to "wafting" a female as she walked by.

Dusting D3 after every meal for a while? I thought d3 was to be used very lightly otherwise it was dangerous.

those arent sores i dont think... those are little bumps that show it is a famale... its like that with allot of lizzards...sut if it cant move its bake legs then it means he ate too much and her stomach is pushing on her spine...i dont know if it will go away(i think it should go away soon but not sure). u should reaserch a cure or call an exoytic safe vet!
