Hey everyone
I pulled out my Leopard Gecko today and I saw this red scab on her belly. She is currently shedding right now, eating normally, drinking and when I picked her up to look she didn't mind me touching her belly or anything. It looks like something came out of her belly and now it has a scab. Does anyone know what this could be? She doesn't appear to be in any pain and is acting like her normal self.

Thanks for your help

Could have bitten/scraped herself while shedding or been bitten by a feeder insect. Doesn't really look like a burn, but maybe do a quick check of the temperatures in your cage to make sure there are no hot spots.

If it starts looking red or infected, you can use a little antibiotic ointment on it (only the type without pain relief), but doesn't look too bad in the picture.
