    Possible missing scale?

    My biggest girl shed last night and now she's got a white spot in between her eyes. She had a little scar spot before where it currently is located but I'm not sure if I should be worried

    I can't really see much on that photo because it's rather small and out of focus, but it doesn't seem to be an open wound or have any discharge or anything, so I personally wouldn't worry too much! If it looks clean and healed up (like a scar as you mentioned), then it's purely an aesthetics issue I would say.

    Thoughts?

    I've had this exact occurrence a year go, my larger female develped white spots after a shed. They eventually scarred over and I ended up putting an antibacterial cream for about two weeks as well as prescribed shots every other day. Make sure your enclosure is well ventilated and the humidity is around 60%. Go ahead and get some antibacterial cream and apply it to the spot reguarly, if it begins to scar over (it would look like the scales are drying out) then I'd reccomend a reptile vet. I hope your girl makes a well recovery!

    I agree, I don't think it's anything to worry about. I'd keep it clean and just watch over it, then decide if it's healing or not and go from there.

    Thanks everyone for their input. I just checked it again and it's perfectly dry and it doesn't seem to bother her any. if anything shes become more active since her shed so she doesn't seem to be in any discomfort.
