Hello!
Can someone help me identify what this is? Is this a scale falling off his face? Or is this a vet emergency issue? Eating and drinking good! Just looks like a scale that’s coming off his face but I’m not too sure if this is normal for the cheek area? Thanks!

Thanks!

I currently have a basking bulb as well as a mercury bulb for heat + uvb. I...
