Damaged scales?

morgan6123 · Dec 6, 2021

I noticed today when I got home from work that a couple of scales on my beardy’s back look whitish and possibly damaged. I’m guessing he scrapped his back on something. Should I be concerned and is there anything I should do for him? I added pics below!

No, perfectly normal. Reptiles can have little areas of dried or scuffed scales just like humans and mammals do with skin.

Hello,

I agree! They are always trying to squeeze themselves through & around tight spaces which scratches up their scales or damages
them some. The scales will be fine & will eventually shed off for him.
