Hey all,

I just noticed that my three-year-old blood is missing two scales after a recent shed (there's a light spot where the missing scales used to be. There's no inflammation, seepage, blood or sign of mites, so I'm chalking it up to some slight injury that happened during shedding. There's no possibility of a prey bite either because she only eats F/T.

Anyone ever had a snake lose a scale or two? How long does it take for a new one to grow back in and fill the space?

Thanks for any input.
