    What's that white / semitransparent spot?

    I got myself a Pastel Mojave GHI last week. Upon inspection I saw a little white dot on its left cheek. I took pictures today and it looks more like a semi transparent scale. I wonder if it is just stuck shed that I should leave be until the next shed, a birthmark, or maybe scratchmarks from being fed live rats by the breeder.

    Stuck shed. Should come off with the next shed.

    Yup, looks like half of one scale didn't fully shed off. Not a big worry, likely will come off with next shed on it's own.

    I agree with all the above. a tiny bit of stuck shed.
    You could try raising the humidity for a day and see of you can gently (very gently) help it off. if it does not move leave it till the next shed. Its only one scale anyway.
