I NOTICED WHAT LOOKS LIKE MISSING SKIN ON MY BABY BRB'S BACK, I DONT THINK ITS A MOUSE BITE/ SCRATCH BECAUSE I WAS WATCHING THE WHOLE TIME HE ATE, BUT IDK, MAYBE HE'S ABOUT TO GO INTO SHED BUT LAST TIME IT DIDNT LOOK LIKE THIS PRIOR TO SHED. IF ANYONE KNOWS WHAT THIS IS PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

there is a bit of damage there but it looks old rather than something that's happened very recently....i'd just monitor it for now. no need to treat it with Tamodine/Vetadine as it's not an open wound.

The first and last just look like he's ready to shed, the middle one looks like a old injury.

It should be alright, but monitor them like GP says.

As he always been fed live? It could be a old rat/mouse injury if you've not had him long. I would feed frozen-thawed if he'll take them because it's safer that way
