Yeah, these geckos, especially the larger Uros, dont really bruise from a lunge or fall. It is usually a result of constant rubbing. Usually all large WC Uroplatus arrive with these rub marks from the little containers they are shipped in. Also, the size of the cage does not really matter as far as rubbing...What I mean is that if the cage is really large, their is still a chance that the conditions are not right and the animal will 'rub' its nose at nightime when it is active...

Thank you for answers. Do you have any effective solution / treatment of these wounds?

dont do anything for the wound. it doesnt look that bad. as long as it isnt getting worse/infected/swollen, it should heal on its own. just keep an eye on it and make sure that it isnt continuously getting worse...if it is, dont worry about the wound as much as what would be causing the rubbing.

This is also very common (and usually much worse than what you see with your fimbriatus) when larger Uroplatus are housed in screen enclosures. Screen is great for fresh air and keeping humidity down in regions such as ours (Florida), however, many hurt their rostral scales by lunging very aggressively towards food climbing up the screen. The best materials I've found, are glass and nylon mesh, but in smaller enclosures, the mesh could still cause an issue.

Cheers!
