I'm not really sure what it is, what's your humidity like, and is it only that spot or are other areas affected too?

I don't know much about this sort of thing, but it looks like scarring to me. Did he lose scales a while back, or suffer any other type of injury?

I hope you mean celcious and not ferinheight (sp? lol) because those would be really bad temps.
When I had my bp's, my male had scales like that along his back as well, never caused any problems for him, so I wouldn't worry to much about it. If you think it is a BIG cause for concern, then take him to a vet.
One thing that semi cleared it up for my boy was upping the humidity to about 70-75% during his next shed.

I used to have that prob. too, I found that regular betadine soaks and neosporin appplications usually remedied it when he shed next. I think it is like a fungus or somthing........

well its not a burn, i use UTH, no heat lamps
is its possible the humidity just wasn't high enough during the last two sheds and a few scales didn't shed of correctly, he only has the three or so scales.
