white patch around one eye

[Randall]

Hey guys

Just wondered if Randall's eye is OK.....? He has got a white patch around one of his eyes; it almost looks like the start of a shed but its been like this for well over a week now and the skin isn't loosening up. When we first bought him he was around five months old and had a a bit of a scar on this eye. It looked like he had been bit or something?! it healed fine but there is still some scar tissue and this is the same eye which now has the white patch.
He is currently snuggled up asleep but i will try and get a photo and post it on here tomorrow so you can have a look.

Yes, a photo should be helpful so that we can take a look at it.

I have tried to take a few pictures although it may not be easy to see the white patch

This is the other eye with no white patch

Yeah, sometimes it'll take a long time for any skin to start to shed after a white spot. It is a part of your dragon's head that's going to shed sooner or later. Agreed?

 

[Jiffy]

I agree, it looks like a shed. Sometimes they may take a couple of weeks or so to actually shed once they turn white.

Looks like the start of a shed to me also. As Jiffy said, it can sometimes take a while for the shed to complete once it starts.

I had this happen with Rocco but it was on his arms and hands. His skin looked very discolored and light but it wasnt loose. It took about 2 weeks for him to finally shed but in the meantime I was very concerned!

The first time my big guy started to shed his back looked like it had a fungus on it for weeks! I almost took him to the vet, then he started to shed!
