What is this blue spot on my Tegu's head

My Johnny has the same blue spot. And is most likely a WC even though the person I got her from said that she was CB. I’m waiting for her to shed to see if it comes off.

So here's what it looks like now. Appears to have been a bruise and healed up nicely

So - maybe we know now what a little Tegu hematoma looks like? Good news - it looks like it's headed toward normal.

My male rubbed his nose on something in the tub a couple weeks ago, and bled right on the front point of his nose. It scabbed over and took about a week for the scab to fall off which revealed a new skip in the black bar that used to be there. It will be interesting to see if he will get that particular bar back - my guess is that he won't. I think it will be more like a scar, which will just look like a disconnected black bar. When the blood subsided but the injury was still healing, his injured scales turned an obvious brown. Now, all of that is gone - with the separation of that one black bar. Healed pretty fast.

Thanks for getting back to us!
