Should I be concerned about this?

Hi. I'm a new bp owner. I know next to nothing. I found these little marks on my baby's belly today. Is this something to be concerned about?


they aaalmost look like tiny cuts to me but I could just be being paranoid.

A picture would help.

Uhm, there are 2 pictures. They're not visible?

How about this?

That's better the pictures are working now
... Looks like possibly damaged scales ... What substrate are you using and what type of heat do you use and what do you set it at?

I'm using plantation soil. I have a 16w under tank heater on the bottom (of one side), a small maybe 5w one on the side (which never gets too hot to touch), and a ceramic heat emitter. I know it seems excessive but my room gets quite cold. So I found it was necessary. The temps on the hot side usually sit around 27C (80) and never get hotter than about 32 (89.6) . The cold side is usually about the same as my room so like 16-20C(61-68) depending on the day. It will be hotter in the summer and I'll be able to turn off 1 or 2 heat sources.

(I tried using more insulation on the screen top to better keep in the heat and humidity but I have this annoying issue with mold in my room where with that little air flow it grows overnight on anything biodegradable)
