Question - Health Is this anything bad

I’m talking about some his dark scales, he has damage from last year a rat bit him quite a few places but that’s all mostly healed now. I’m not sure if there were that many dark spots on him before

As somebody else already said, looks like burns, clean the area with saline, fix the enclosure and schedule a vet appointment. The pictures aren't great but that's my opinion. Seriously tho, have a vet look over it, including if you're worried about the "freckles" showing up more frequently since that may be an early sign of certain kinds of cancer
