Re: Thing on Head

Congrats, but you should wipe it down with a wet, white paper towel to check for mites BEFORE it sheds. It may be nothing, but I've read that mites can cause that whitish appearance in deep scale creases. They'd be a lot easier to treat before the shed, if they're present because you'd kill most of them with treatment, and the shed would then eliminate any eggs that are stuck to the skin while you're thoroughly cleaning the enclosure. It's probably nothing, but it can't hurt to check.
