If he is in shed, let him go for a bit then show us after he has shed. Looks like he's going a bit blue, should shed within a couple of days. Those scales should fix themselves
 
I find if I handle my guys to close to shedding (which I only do if 100% necessary) this will happen if there gripped to tightly
But it all looks fine after the shed

Sure this will be ok right? Some say looks like a bite mark...and can i feed him small mice during shedding(his blue eye is clear)...i find hes lack of energy...
 
I would just leave them alone during the shedding cycle

Looks like a very old, well-healed wound - could be from rough handling or feeding live rodents a long time ago. Don't handle them, or offer food, when they are shedding.
