Scale issues

seablazer Mar 15, 2004 08:24 PM

I have just recently noticed while holding my burm that some of his scales are raised a tad bit. To the point where he can sometimes grab onto my clothing with the lifted scales.

He did have a mite problem, but that was cured, could this be the problem?

Also, is it detrimental or just going to be a permanent cosmetic flaw?

Thanks in advance!

Thats nothing to worry about, its very common in burms especially when they start getting bigger because they spend much of their time coiled up.
