how far are your lights from his basking spot? If he gets too close, the light could be burning him. It also could just be the beginning of a shed.
 
the lights are about 6 1/2-7 inches away and whats concerning me is that picture was taken right before I put him to sleep. Believe me Id be honest if I thought I burned him I dont mind taking fault in my errors as long as he heals. But that appeared over night
 
I havent actually but then all I hear is the worms or crickets in the feeder cup all day I have to pay attention when I get home from work
 
So it's Been 3 days and it filled in with some color so it's not as noticeable but the edge is still white and looks different and he doesn't seem to be shedding and he's been acting normal other than that discoloration on his casque
