What's that Black Dot on his casque?

[GregJD]

Hey,

I just got home and saw this black dot on his head. It freaked me out, so I'm asking for help.
He's got an 80 watt bulb (goes up to 120 but is eco-friendly so it puts out 80 actual heat). He's got a National Geographic terrarium, and I keep his humidity around 60.
He's cricket-fed. He's finishing up shedding. My suspicion is that he scratched himself, but I don't know why there'd be a black dot there.

That's all I know to tell ya.

Please let me know.

Well, it looks to me like maybe some insect guts/a scratch. Maybe you have some loose wire somewhere? My cham is a really messy eater, he's always spewing insects guts everywhere when he eats, so maybe that's it...... not an expert tho. Don't count on my advice as solid truth!

I wouldn't worry about that. Keep an eye on it if you feel paranoid about it.
