My Uro just shed last week and today I notice some white spots on his neck and side. Any ideas what it could be?

No idea.. unless it's vitaligo

Any change in diet, lighting or any other aspects?

We did switch to the "Spring Mix" mixed greens. I was thinking burn scars but it's a heat pad underneath and a 60 watt light bulb above on a 39 gallon tank. He seems to be acted like usual.

Perhaps due to handling or the pigmentation in those areas hadn't developed or something during the shed which might have caused the discoloration.

Hey the first Pie-Bald Uromastyx! (Sounding as sarcastic as he can!) Sounds like $$$$ to me! Hehehe! It doesn't look like the skin is tore or has been tore or burned just like color didn't develope there for some reason?!

That's really wierd.... my RTB just shed, and has 4 or 5 white spots kinda like that on her face. Don't think they're scars... can't figure out where they came from.
