Any Skin Problems?

Does the current shed seem thicker than normal and has she experienced any skin problems lately (scale rot etc.)? One theory that was put out last time one like this came up was that some sort of skin problem might cause them to shed down to a deeper layer or something like that.

I would be very interested to know if her next shed has a visible pattern of dark pigment or not. I have an import girl (so I don't know how she started off) that looked a lot like yours at one point but at that time she was shedding clear. She then started to pick up a little pigment in her sheds and more lemon yellow on her body and even increased black speckling (IMG?). I'm trying to decide how likely it is that she started out normal looking and did one of these one shed changes by comparing her progression to known one shed changers.

Thanks, especially if you can post back about her next shed!
