Weard white mark on head after shed

zhenchok Jun 23, 2004 01:21 AM

My male hatchling just hatched, it was a perfect hatch. Well he now has a white mark thats on the top of his head. At first I thought that her rubbed his head on something but it actually is a white mark. He did not have this mark before the shed. Any Ideas on what this could be? Maybe it will fade back to normal after a few days.

Here is a link to what it looks like

Sorry, I should be sleeping right not, lol. I was trying to say that he just shed. And After the shed this is what happened. I looked very closely and it does not look like a scar at all, just a white mark.

Looks like he lost some scales. Use Neosporin and it should repair itself over the next few sheds.

Well thats what I thought at first, that he lost the scales. But, these scales are perfect they just turned white. I've never seen this before.
