Random black spots on scutes

[tyguy35]

Hey, so when going to feed and bath tank today I noticed black spots on his scute. I have never noticed these before does anyone know what it is?

Other than the overlapping scute....I see normal pattern on the shell....pretty pattern.

I think I know what you are talking about.. Is it the darker spot inside the brown center part, the original portion of the scute?
If so, don't worry about it. I don't know what it is but my older Leopards have it, too.

Yes that is what I am talking about. Unfortunately I cannot help the overlapping although they have moved apart.

Between the two that over lap, try rubbing on a bit of Cold Pressed Virgin Olive Oil. It should help.
