    *URGENT help* weird scab?scar? on bp

    I dont have any sharp things in my enclosure and I have noticed this scab like 2 weeks ago. I expected to go away after shedding but it did not go away.

    Does anyone have any idea what this is?







    Anyone have treatment for this or any idea what would've caused it? I use coconut husk and some cypress mulch. Can mulch do this?.. please help

    It looks like his head scale came off. Nothing dangerous.
    It might look like that for the rest of his life, but it might look better after a few shed cycles.

    Okay, it got me so worry. I was wondering if this is scale rot or something... still worried though. Tried to look for reptile vet round here but they are almost $100 just for the exam..
