Strange scales on head

[mikey_mike]

Any takers?
This fella - Darwin Carpet seems healthy. I noticed that there's a patch of strange scales on his head about a week ago. no chance of a burn. Ventral scales all ok. Don't think it's an injury. Looks worse on the photo than it really is. No pus / fluid. He last shed about 3 weeks ago.

Doesn't look terrible, but any chance of a clearer picture?

Just visited the local reptile guru and showed him the same photos. He told me to relax. He reckons it's just damage from shedding & recommends keeping an eye in it.
I'm super relieved.

my young darwin has the exact same problem. did he say it would clear next slough?

 

[mikey_mike]

He said that he'd had pythons with similair looking skin, which had completely cleared after 1 - 2 sheds. Good luck just dragons.

it does clear, have experienced the same thing a few times on my burms and corn snakes, it usually goes away after the next shed
