Black dots on Veiled Chams head

[sarahog]

Hi there, today my veiled is shedding on his head but I noticed these little black spots, they are black scales on his head that have been there a few hours since I got home and I've never seen that before on him so it got me a bit worried. Has anyone seen a Cham like this before? Ever since my female got a burn on her I'm so scared they are going to get burned so anything out of the ordinary freaks me out a bit! Thanks for your help, I'm just trying to make sure my Chams are well taken care of

my veiled got those spots as his colors where coming in at about 6 months how old is your guy?? I wouldn't worry to much about them here is a pic of my guy with very similar spots

He's about 8 months old. Thanks guys for reassuring me that he's okay!

I see your guy is shedding. My male veiled gets the black spots too when he sheds and they come and go for a day or two during and after his sheds. then they go away.. I doubt its anything to worry about.

I have seen alot of black markings on the casques. I don't think it is anything to worry about either.

The others are right - he's just getting his big boy colours! Here's a pic of my Tommy's head - you can see all the areas that will eventually go dark on your guy too!
