Hi There. Just got a ball a few weeks ago. He started to shed before I knew to monitor his Humidty, and it resulted in a stuck shed. I wiped him down with a warm towel and got his humidity up higher and he's doing fine.

My question is, I've noticed his scales flaking off. Not that cloudy white that his shed is... but dark scales. And he has patches on his skin that are lighter than I think that they should be.

Are these all symptoms of his stuck shed? or something worse?

Thanks for reading.
