Wound(?) After stuck shed removed
Hi all. Yesterday my young bp shed, but he still had some stuck shed, which i used the damp towel trick to help remove. I managed to remove it just fine and have since adjusted my husbandry, but after removing the shed I noticed a small mark, almost an indent, under where the stuck shed was.

Is this something I should be worried about? I know im probably overreacting, but hes my first ever reptile and I want to make sure hes comfortable.

Actually the scales can grow back after a few sheds.
