White patch on Back

[noahrofsky7]

Hello,

I’ve got a male Jacksonii Xantholophus, 2 years old. He’s been in my care for around 4 months.

Handling:
Never handle unless it’s for a reason.

Supplements:
I use repticalcium without d3 twice a week, and repashy lo-d once a month.

Hydration:
He gets hydrated via mistking, and when he is not outdoors, I use a fogger.

Fecal:
Poop and urates are hydrated. Haven’t seen anything out of the ordinary other than a poop he held onto for a while, a couple weeks ago. He has been fecal tested and promptly deparasitized by the previous owner.

Cage:
2x2x4 reptibreeze, live plants, soil floor.

Lights:
Natural sun, T5 HO

Temperatures:
Current temperatures indoors are high 60’s, low 70’s during the day, and 50’s at night. Basking lamp doesn’t get above 85

CURRENT PROBLEM:
Noticed white spot on back. Could it be a burn? Shed skin? I thought burns usually turned the skin black. He has been hangin closer to the uv light these past weeks, but haven’t seen any adverse reactions to anything until possibly today.

Thanks

Looks like it might be a burn. Hard to tell since your photos aren't very clear though.

Looks like shedding to me... But @JacksJill @Mendez @Kaizen would know better than I since I do not keep Jackson's.

I would go with shedding or a possible burn. You will know shortly as a burn will blacken or a shed will start to peel. He is probably starting to peel.

He’s shedding. I just had to make sure since he was hangin a bit closer to the uvb lamp.

Thanks

It looks like he’s beginning to shed the top half of his torso to me. Jackson’s shed different Parts of their bodies separately like for instance maybe their head first then limbs, then back, then belly then tail. Hope that helps.
