No idea, it looks like a nice aro. The shiny patch looks like a reflection to me, but you can tell he is missing some scales.
 
yea the same thing happened 2 me actually but still hasnt really made much improvement, GL wit urs, hopefully all turns in your favor
 
its ok bro. no need to worry. its normal for some silvers to have a very shiny specks on its top scales. shud be glad! :D maybe someday it become xb silver :P j/k
 
your silver is fine. a little drop-eye on the left side though
 
mine has been spooked and lost some scales before, and when they grew back they were a different color for a while. The scales grow back really quickly, but will take a while to match in color.

Yep...

The scales on my leichardti grew back but were darker in color for quite some time.
