this is roys leg.this is what i was trying to explain in my last post

another pic

Its kinda hard to see cause the pic is so fuzzy. the forearm looks a little swollen though, in comparison to the other leg. (I am assuming the leg in question is his left).

did you check for left over shed?

If there is no contricting shed then i would go to a vet, they may want to take x-rays, fractures can cause the forearm to swell like that.

yes it is the left leg.there isnt any dead skin left on that foot.what would a vet beable to do for him after they take xrays?would it be alot of money?

Wow. Definitely swollen.

Did you try to help him get the shed off or have to intervene during the shed process?

From these pics he looks very slightly MDB-ish...but they are fuzzy and overhead views so I may be seeing things. Do you have a more "3-D" photo of you little guy?

MBD altho the pic is fuzzy i have had this happen to me in my early days of keeping leo's. I learn't my lesson might i add! I had a young female whos front left leg swelled up just like urs. Lucky for me she was young and with alot of calcium and care as she got older the leg straigtened itself out. Hope this helps.
