Darwin "cut"

[Janelle22]

I noticed before my darwins last shed he had damaged scales on his side i didnt think much of it and thought it would just come away after his shed, he shed and it was still there.
what should i do? iv been to a vet and they are going to try and find out what it is.
what do you guys think?

Looks like an injury or abrasion, and it may take a shed or two to fully heal. It may leave a bit of a scar however.

If there is anything sharp or abrasive in the enclosure, or a small space which it has tried to get into then retreated, or if it has been roughly handled (pulled backwards against some abrasive object), it will lead to an injury such as we see here.

Pretty much has to be an injury.

He has a tree stump in his encloser that might be what he has done it on :?
