Those are preanal pores. They are more evident on males than females. Its perfectly normal. All dragons have them.

I hope that is all it is. I have just now noticed it, I have had him since he was an itty bitty. Thanks for the quick reply!

no need to "hope", that is what they are. If you want to be perfectly sure you can put up a picture.

Glad it is cleared up for you. I hate being worried! The femoral pores are used as scent glands, evident in both males and females, but more prominent in males.
