I just noticed a small patch of scales behind his left eyes are "dented." They don't seem to hurt him, but I'm not sure about that because he has been closing that eye some (more than normal, anyway.) The scales kind of look dead or something--they're dull in color, compared to the rest of him. This isn't serious, right?
Info: Pippin is 7" long (including tail), about 3 months old.
I use the correct repti-sun bulb, and his temperatures are 105 (basking), 100 (warm), and 85 (cool).
His appetite and behavior are normal. I feed him crickets and collard greens, and give him a warm bath at least once a week.
Like I said, my camera is dead so I can't capture it. It's the little gray patch behind his eye, at the base of the hump. You can see on the second picture that it is dented.
Can you point it out in the picture? Circle it or something in paint, because I still don't see what you're talking about. I see normal dips and bumps on a dragons head.
If we can't see what they look like then we can't help you determine if they're dead or not. He could just be shedding, which makes the scales turn a different color.
if they are turning a gray color hes shedding, i don't thin they are dying cuz scales don't just randomly die (correct me if im worng)
if everything else is normal eating pooing etc don't worry.
sorry we can help really its just that we cant really see anything there, i just had a look at roo and he has the same dent it just the way their heads are.
Okay. I just found my mother's camera, woke my baby up (notice the glare <3), took a picture, took a picture of the picture with my phone, sent it to my email, upped the contrast and boosted the color, pointed to the patch, and HERE WE GO!
