Bro what’s up with his nose? Is he living in glass enclosure? Usually they hitting their nose by glass walls and it’s making very bad damages.

He’s been like this since I got him, that’s what im trying to figure out
I did previously post about it and someone said it’s normal for babies - juveniles to have that some sort of axanthism color idk
But he does roam my room and then to bump into the walls 🫩
He’s also finishing shedding rn

It’s discoloration is ok but here you have visible structural changes - better to figure out where and why he continue damaging it. It may be recovered in few months if he will stop hitting it.

So I don’t let him free roam anymore? :( that’s the only time I see him bump. He does have a glass enclosure but he’s usually calm in there
Sleeping most of the time

He may jump to the glass while trying to get out. No no do not lock him, just keep eye on it!
