wtf is this on his lip

[RedSidedSPR]

this is a year or so old concinnus that I bought in August. I was feeding him today and noticed this burnt/dead looking crap under a few of his lip scales.

It looks old which pisses me off because I never saw it despite watching him closely for some period of time each day. I have absolutely no idea how long it's been there. I didn't notice it until now because he's a vicious little ******* who hides all day and tries his very hardest to never be seen or touched even during feeding. And when he is seen, he's got "dirt" all over his face from digging around in the substrate which I guess has camouflaged it until now.

I had to assist him in his last shed, which was three or four weeks ago. It wasn't there or at least wasn't noticeable at the time. For all I know that's what caused it.


He's behaving and eating normally.




I can try and get better pictures if necessary.
