Is there a vet in the house?

Found this on one of my MGB's. Looks like a superficial hole in the flesh atop his nose area. Thoughts, anyone?

Thanks!

Do you have screen that he's pushing on? I had a GTP that had something similar on his head. He had pushed the skin back on a sharp edge of a ventilation hole in the plastic. When I got him his skin was peeled back and you could see his skull. With time, it healed up, though it's still a lighter color than the rest of his skin.

Not @ all. He's in a sterile tub with paper bedding.

Sorry, should've noted that. :-\

Look around the inside of the tub for a random rough spot. My Boa got something like that right after being put into a new tub before I finished his viv. I found a rough spot on part of the lid where a seem was.

if there is a rough spot they always find it faster than you.

Perhaps one of the holes still has the edge left on the inside by the drill bit. I'll check right away when I get home. I'm babysitting, Lol (Great-nieces and nephews)

It looks like your animal has found a rough spot to rub it's nose. Have you gotten home and found it yet?

Its a rub spot. One of my snakes did this when I used to use a drill to make holes,now I use a soldering iron makes clean holes with smooth edges!
