I was wondering if anyone else noticed a difference between their snakes in skin & scale texture/firmness.

For example, my female spider's skin feels softer and less firm than any other of my ball pythons. My albino's skin has this "squeaky clean" kind of feel, and feels firmer than any other BP.
My spider is around 900grams and she is the same size and age as my albino female, so I don't think it's about who's more robust in this case. Neither female has ever had health issues, and they both have full sheds every time.

Does anyone else think it's a genetic thing? Anyone else notice that their spiders feel different?

Thanks!
