    Needing Help Identifying Injury

    Hello everyone, brand new user here. I never got around to making a profile but this kind of forced me to do so. My 1 and a little over a half year old BP has a mark that I think is just a small scratch from one of the mice I fed him just last week. While I was handling him on Monday I discovered it and in paranoia dashed to the internet to make sure it isn't anything serious. In my search I wasn't able to find anything similar and since I've been worried that it might be more then just a scratch. Here's a few photos of the mark. its on the belly on the upper half of his body.

    I doubt its anything serious but it's always best to check

    Not really sure what that is, but as you said, it doesn't look serious at all. I'd make sure the substrate stays clean and dry. Keep an eye on it from time to time to make sure it doesn't get any worse, but I don't think it will. Then see what happens with the next shed. It will most likely shed off completely.

    Thanks for the welcoming, We got him onto a softer substrate recently and the mark is starting to clear up and he looks happy as could be! Thank you for your opinion
