what is this on his neck? :s

[NachoBeardie]

My beardie has started getting these "splits"? in his neck. not sure what they are and was wondering if I could get some opinions on what they could be. Im wondering if I will need to take him to the vet.
He isn't always this stressed. He just doesn't like when the camera comes around. I think he doesn't like the flash.

To me it looks like it's just the way the skin folds. Has he lost weight recently? It looks like the fat pads on his neck are a little thin, and that probably makes his neck skin a little looser than usual, too.
I can't see from the picture if any underlying skin is visible or if it's causing any pain or bleeding, but it really looks like it's just the way that the skin folds over when he's not stretching.

I don't think he has lost weight. He's growing like crazy. Not even a year old yet. I don't see any bleeding or skin underneath. I just see bright colors on his scales. Just seems like those scales are growing away from each other or something. Hmm maybe fatten him up with some supers

Hello,

Are you referring to the folds on his neck underneath?
That is very normal looking so nothing at all to worry about! He looks healthy to me. He has awhile before he will be completely filled out since he is under a year old.
