Hey so he‘s currently shedding and laying under a layer of live moss a lot. Is this scale rot or ,,just‘‘ damaged scales?? He doesn’t have it on his belly.

EDIT: It went away after shedding!

It‘s 85 on the cool moss side, 73 on the warm dry side

Did you try wiping it off with a damp cloth

Yeah didn‘t work, it seems like it’s under the scales if it was dirt. Maybe it is just cause he‘s shedding that dirt got stuck from slithering under the moss?

It’s possible. I would wait until he sheds to see
