Erm the answer is nothing and not a lot. Just check he isn't squishing his head into somewhere his body doesn't fit (holes in logs etc) and then having to pull his head out again. Any damage will be shed off and it should be back to fixed again. Dont worry though scales are there to take the damage so the soft bits underneath remain uninjured.
