i took picture of him today and noticed he had brown spots on his tail and his nose seemed bruised, i've been worried about his nose due to when he goes for a meal worm in his bowl he strikes really hard and i'll heard a thump sound like he hit his nose on the bowl :c and i know his tail was getting orange specs but now i see brown specs, whats going on is he hurt should i take him to a vet? :c

The brown spots on the tail just look like orange spots that aren't quite orange. It's hard to see his nose, but it looks a bit like there's some shed stuck on there. Check to see if there's something you can peel off. If not, just keep an eye on it. Sometimes they get abrasions on their noses because they've rubbed it very hard when shedding. It often heals by itself. If you start to see some crusty stuff in the mouth, it may be an infection and then your gecko should visit the reptile vet.

he did have a shed that day and he used the little wooden hut i got him to get the shed off, he always rubs pretty hard even though during his shed i keep his tank at about 50-70 humidity, thank you ^^ his mouth is very moist and the vet said the clear stuff at the front of his snout is like protection from him hurting his nose when he strikes at his food
