More than likely some kind of a cyst. I don't think it's constipation/impaction - that normally presents as overall swelling of the abdomen, not just in an isolated spot like this.

There's really not much you can do about this. Just make sure the T has constant access to fresh water, and be sure the enclosure is set up properly to prevent falls if it climbs. Otherwise, you'll just have to wait until it molts to see if the issue is corrected.

Bet you didn't wash your hands before going to the bathroom. You will soon learn about their hairs. Merry Christmas.
