This is just a hunch but he actually seems like he can control that part of the body and is trying to keep it from touching the ground/water. How badly damaged are the scales on his belly in that area, and does he flinch away if you touch him there? Looks like he may just be really sensitive since he's still healing.
Does he move normally when out of the water or still try to roll that part of his body off the ground?
