My young BEL looks to be missing a scale. And only noticed this after I recently allowed her to soak after a scruffy shed... it was almost as if the soak helped soften the 'scab' and better expose the dodgy scale.

She's OK though. Smashed two meals since. Cleaned the area, took a photo for future comparison if needed and just monitoring for any changes that would spur me on to visit the reptile vets.

But the taking a photo is the point I wanted to make. It's definitely worth it as slow progression could result in forgetting what the original concern that raised then alarm, was like!
