If it's calcium deposit you should be able to take it of with a bit of lemon juice :) you can try that.

I have a hygrometer and I always make sure it's in the humid section around 80

It would make sense for it to be a bit of calcium deposit because other than that he's rather healthy I was just getting worried as you do but thank you I'll try that :p

That is why it's hard for me to imagine that the white stuff is dryness:) probably he is OK it it was mine I would keep an eye on it. If it spreads treat:)

Yeah I'll keep a close eye on him, sometimes it does look a little bit dry in his enclosure even though it says it's humid so I might buy a new hygrometer to just make sure, I'll also try the lemon juice idea thanks :)

No unfortunately and I am currently not at home, his enclosure is a little small and as he's getting bigger I'm opting for a new bigger enclosure once I move house later on this year, his enclosure isn't open but does have an open vent to help circulate oxygen
