Green Sevrum injury?

Question
Hello, I have a Green Sevrum that I have had for about 8 months now. I bought him he was about 1 1/2 inches long, he is now about 7 1/2 inches long. I noticed he had a white spot on his side about 3 weeks ago, It looked like he was missing a scale, but now it looks like it coming out, it is also on the other side directly accross, I dont know what it is and I dont know if it is something that should be treated.  He is acting normal. He is eating and doing everything he always did,  I have trained him to take food from my fingers and he even jumps out of the tank(half way) I dont know if maybe he injured himself doing that. Any ideas? Please!

Answer
Hi Billy,
 That's really hard to judge from here.  If it is a missing scale then that is no big deal: he will grow it back in very little time.  All I can say is keep an eye on him.  Sorry I can't be more detailed.
