What is this thing..?

[WoWo]

I've seen that few times on different gecko and i'm sure it's not a bite. It's really strange.. You probably saw it before, what is it?

 

[DrCarrotTail]

I'm not sure what exactly you're talking about. Can you give a few more details or a picture?

 

[WoWo]

Damn... Dunno what went wrong, i'm sure i posted it first! Anyways here it is :

It could be irritated from a bug bite or just a scuff from rubbing on somthing. i would just give it a clean and keep an eye on it.
I would also urge you to get rid of the chippings as they can cause impaction and mouth injuries.

Are you asking about the brown coloration behind her eye? My best guess would be a bite but if you're sure its not then I'd assume its a scratch or discoloration from something in her tank. Wood chips can be rough on their skin and can cause injuries. Other than that I'm stumped.

Actually this time it's quite different, and weirder! It's shiny under light, looks like gold dust..?! Rubbing/Scratching it makes nothing... It's been here for a month at least. This gecko had a fight indeed but it was bitten on it's back (you still see the scar) NEVER on the had. Could a simple sign of post fight stress?

this is a diffrent gecko then before. this one just looks like a paradox spot to me

 

[WoWo]

Yes, the first pic is an old one, this second pic is NOW. I just checked what's "Paradox". If it was that, it should've been here for long; it's not the case, it appeared VERY recently.

I think paradox spots can appear over time, some one correct me if im wrong.
If your worried id say see a vet to check it isnt somthing more sinister.

 

[WoWo]

"some one correct me if im wrong" well yes that would be nice if some more people could either confirm or infirm this. Or just give your thoughts

Paradox spots can develop over time

Even on a 5y old gecko..?! Ever seen such?

It looks like a scrape or a bite or something. I've seen similar things on my geckos before. The scrapes almost look like they're leaking a plasma of some type similar to cuts on humans. When my geckos get scrapes like this I actually just use a bit of polysporin/neosporin on the end of a q-tip and dab some on the wound. I'll do that for a few days until it looks like the wound is drying up or healing. The marks disappear after their next shed usually. That had been my experiences so far but I'm not a vet
