Re: What's This?
It looks like retained shed to me. It should come off by itself, but you could try gently scratching it with your finger nail. If that doesn't work, you could wipe it with a damp cloth. After a minute or so of being wet it will probably come right off.

Re: What's This?
He/she has actually had it since I got him which was about 2 weeks ago so will it still come off?

Re: What's This?
Just rub it a little bit. Or wipe it with a wet Q-tip if it won't come off then rub it.

Re: What's This?

try gently trying to remove it with some moisture like sugested,if it was there before it shed i guess it could be something else,so yeah if it doesnt come off easily,no biggy,see what happens by next shed

Re: What's This?
I picked mine up the other day and was told that his last shed was over 10 days ago, but these were still there discoloring his head. As others have already said, I simply gave them a gentle rub to see if they wouldn't "pull" away when I pushed my fingertip over them. Sure enough, all 3 scales just came right off.
