Mace has had a rough scale on his snout for a few weeks. I am hoping it goes away with his next shed. What appears to have happened? Scrape, burn, rot, etc... B

Hard to tell, but looks like the frontonasal scale has completely fallen off?

Nope it's there but damaged. I'm impatiently waiting for him to shed to see if it is only superficial. I'll try to get a better picture but he is a rowdy skink lately and does not like to sit still.
