Hey guys.. it's been two weeks with the noodle, time for my first paranoid snake mom post!

So Talion ate Thursday, it was his second meal with me. He's looked very dull and wrinkly the last two times I've seen him, but I didn't catch him in blue.

Anyways, I peeked in on him to see if he was in blue today, and I noticed eco earth all over the front of his mouth. He also looks brighter so I think he's in the clear stage before he sheds. I let him go through a damp cloth a few times, and dabbed it a little with a wet q-tip. A couple particles came off, but then I noticed that there's a raised, weird looking area right on the front of his face. Not sure how well the pictures capture it but I hope you can see what I mean.

Now I don't see anything he could have scraped himself on in the tub.. any edges that have been cut have been gone over with a lighter to smooth them down, no tape or anything of the sort on or in the tub.

It almost looks like the shed has started to separate a little on his nose, and substrate got under it??? Is this possible? Does it look like an injury to you more experienced people?

Also, if it is just stuck substrate, I can't really get it away from his lips.... should I switch him to another substrate? I run a CHE for my heat, so I'm using the eco earth because I heard it was best for humidity.

Ughhh.. help please? I'm anxious about my noodle
