my cal kings ventral scales

delaneycolubrids Mar 10, 2007 07:25 PM

I was wondering if any one could help me out. My kings belly is dry and flaky is there something wrong with him or is it just dry. I soaked him for like 2 hours the other day and it looked better but it's back the same way today has anyone else had this problem? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

That's what I do when something is off or weird with one of my pets and I don't know the cause.

I know there are some fungus out there that can damage scales and that can be treated. Never seen it myself, but that's what I'd be worried about.
