So, the other day i was taking pictures of Steve, and he had some dust on his head. Today I check on him and I see this.

I don't have the slightest clue as to what it might be or what has caused it, but it looks like a scale is completely missing from his head. The nearest reptile friendly vet is a 4 hour drive away, and I just can't make that drive in negative temps with a blizzard on its way to us. If you guys have any guesses or suggestions as to what this might be and how to treat it, I will be eternally greatful.
