    It looks like damage from trying to push its way out of its enclosure to me. Before I upgraded his enclosure, my bp would injure himself repeatedly in that same spot.

    Wow! Your dad's got skills. Nice enclosure. Space certainly isn't the problem. That open top may be though. It allows both heat and humidity to escape. So, I'd check your temperature and humidity readings and cover that top if they are too low.

    There are 2 heating pads and the lamp as you can see on the top I have sensors on all hides and I anticipated
    Some heating issues because of the height and the humidity I think I got the humidity down ok I am keeping an eye on that daily

    Covering the top not only helps keep in heat and humidity, it will also make your bp feel more secure. So, even if your temperature and humidity readings check out, I still try covering that top. I'd cover those clear sides as well.

    There’s more on the other side that not in the photo and I’m concerned about putting the aluminum on because my roommate tends to turn off the ac to conserve energy and when I came home the house was about 86 degrees

    You know your situation better than I do. My suggestions are just suggestions. I offer them in the hope that they will help.
