    Folded belly scale?

    Not sure if this is an issue but I've been googling and cannot find anything. I noticed one of his belly scales appears to be folded. Is this going to cause some distress to him? Should I leave it alone?

    Thanks!

    I honestly don't see anything there to worry sbout.

    There is no inflamation or signs of scale rot or a burn or anything - I suspect it will go away with the next shed,

    I think it just got snagged. It must have just happened. I just didn't know if I should be concerned! Hoping it sorts itself out

    It's not that unusual, but most people don't even notice. Not a big deal, normally.
