When I carry my 5 month old boy bearded dragon I can feel little ball things on one side of his stomach, is that normal?

You may be feeling his internal organs. This can be normal, especially if he isn't too chubby yet. Have him examined by your veterinarian or an experienced herp vet to make sure it isn't anything to be concerned about.
