Scab on lower lip?

[sopa]

Hey, everyone! I apologize in advance if this is in the wrong discussion forum, and if so, admin please move to the appropriate forum. Thank you very much!

I noticed last night that it looks like my bp has a scab on her lower lip, right under the crevice for her tongue. She ate on Sunday evening(7/20/14), and I didn't notice it then..


This was the best I could do to get her to stay still a few seconds for a mediocre picture

I'm not worried too much about her health because I went through great measure to be 100% sure that her husbandry was spot on, but I'm more worried as to how she got the injury being that I feed her f/t and I have no idea what she could be jabbing her mouth on.

I'm sure it'll go away within a couple sheds (she's actually going to shed any day now, has been in the clear-after-blue phase for a couple days!) but would just like a list of all the possibilities it could be in order to avoid it in the future.

Thanks in advance, everyone! Everyone's opinions are greatly appreciated.


Struggles also says thanks

This is a stab in the dark but perhaps the claws of the mouse/rat when she swallowed? Although I have doubts that could do it if it was f/t?

What substrate is she on? Perhaps she got a chip caught in her mouth if she is on bark?

Again I am unsure and these are guesses but it seems like she'll be fine. Struggles is also very cute!

thanks for your input! the claws idea sounds like a probable one, but you're right in the sense that a f/t could be capable.. @_@

also, she is on coconut husk substrate. thank you!

My pastel had a scab on her lower lip/chin. I wasn't exactly sure where it came from but my best guess was she rubbed up against the top metal screen trying to get out. Went away within a week or 2.
