Phoenix has a little translucent doohickey sticking up on his head that looks like it might be a little bit of skin peeling off? As far as I can tell it's just the one little thing, and he's been active and hasn't been blue so I don't think it would be related to shedding. I tried to gently rub it off but had no luck. Is this something to be worried about?

Single scale peeling off?

I wouldn't be worried. Sometimes they rub their head on something and lift a bit of the scale off. It should clear up with the next shed. You may want to examine all the decor in his enclosure to see if there's anything sharp or rough.
Ah, well, in the last couple of days he did learn how to coil himself around his thermometer in order to get at the screen lid...could that have been it? One of his hides is also faux wood so it's rough. And it is just the one little thing, I even looked at his head under a magnifying glass and couldn't see anything else weird - no discoloration, no other scales looking raised or otherwise odd...but I'll keep an eye on him. And move his thermometers a little lower so he doesn't have access to the screen.
