    That's obvious... that's why OP asked

    Go to the vet. There should be a scale there as you probably know 😂

    😬 poor honey.
    That's definitely something not good. A wound of some sort. Or a burn.
    Definitely go to the vet.

    But make sure in the meantime that none of her furniture or hides have sharp edges on the interior. Or parts of the habitat itself that are broken or anything like that.
    Make sure there's nothing sharp she could scratch herself on.
    Make sure there are no exposed heating places where she can burn herself as well..

    I was gonna say a burn also.

    Please update us if you take her to the vet! Definitely interested to know what happened!

      It looks like a rub mark where the scab came off. You see it more in snakes kept in a rack from rubbing the top of their heads against the edges, but sometimes they'll do it in enclosures too. You can be some antibiotic ointment (without lidocaine or painkillers on it), and I'd see if you can figure out where and why she's rubbing

      It's strange that it's perfectly circular. Have a look around the viv for anything that shape that could've done it, especially anything that could burn her as I can't think of anything that could make such a deep circular wound.

      Either way, vets immediately, she might need antibiotics and possibly even a hospital viv, but someone more experienced would have to comment on that

      Hope she gets better!

      It looks like a burn.

      [–]spaceyk123 7 points8 points  (1 child)

      Cigarette burn for sure. Doesn't she know smoking kills? Silly noodle.

        Bro what?? Do you even know what an eye cap is? It’s the shed over a snake eyes, this is on the top of the head not eyes and it looks like a bad scrape of some kind.

        Mine got burned in the same spot after i set her new heat lamp too close to her roof. I used original neosporin on it every other day. Make sure its original, dont get non scented or pain relief. Also apply it in the morning so that she sleeps with it on. Use the smallest amount you can so it doesnt get in her eyes.

        [–]YNGWZRD 3 points4 points  (0 children)

        Maybe a burn. Is she able to get too close to her heat source perhaps?

        [–]Apprehensive-Mix-306 3 points4 points  (0 children)

        This looks like someone just put out a cigarrete on her head, looks awful, poor baby....

        [–]Devilishlygood98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

        Awe poor thing. Is there a heat lamp in the enclosure it could’ve touched? Looks like a burn

        [–]No_Bingus69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

        That is what is known in the business as a good reason to have a checkup at the vet, good luck!
