Lack of complete head scales...

RG Aug 23, 2006 05:36 PM

will the head scales grow or fill in over time?

I had to purchase the snake because it was so nice looking...and being a Hypo from Triple Het parents was a huge bonus as well.

Anyone have this kind of thing happen before and what was the outcome?

Thanks,
RG

I had one like that a few years ago. It pretty much stayed the same, shed after shed. Didn't seem to affect the snake at all though.

Scales don't grow back. It probably lost it from rubbing against someting abrasive in it's cage.
