Probably didnt notice it before. If theres nothing physically wrong with the scales there besided coloration I wouldn't worry about it. But keep an eye on it just in case.
Hmm...that is strange...I've seen lighter patches, from too-dry areas, but never dark areas "show up"...hmm....maybe someone with experience with this will show up.

I wouldn't worry about it. Unless it seems to be bothering him at all, it's probably something that just... came up. Kind of looks like a paradox spot, but I don't think a normal can "turn" paradox.
