Dry skin on head.

My large adult male leopard geckos has some dry patches on the top of his head. He's had it for around a week. He is housed in a 20 gallon long and uses a under heat heater. He has a moist hide that he loves to dig in and he is housed with one other female for breeding purposes, but they were separated temporarily because I want to figure out why his head scales are so dry. He never scratches himself or rubs against things. He acts normal and eats fine. The small black dots in this picture is peat moss when he got it all over when digging in the humid hide.IMG_2505.jpg

It kind of looks like shed, could you probe at it a bit with a Q-tip maybe? I think you may want to double check your suppliments and make sure they are appropriate and not causing a deficany which in turn causes this condition.

Also make sure that fresh water is always provided in the enclosure.

Hoping it is something simple!
