It isn't "Ideas" that fail or succeed,... it is the "Systems" which are instilled to launch and sustain the idea that either fail or succeed.>[Me.]

Could you give me info though why it looks like that or what and is it likethat because i handel him during sheding time?

hey
i had that problem with my water pythons a few months back, it had turned out to be a very bad mite infestation, cost me over $600 to rectify the problem, if it is mites that you have get your pet to a vet it will most likly need shots like mine did,cause if you do(?), have a mite problem if that is the cause you might want to get a fecal exame done also if it is severe

My labyrinth had that problem. I increased the humidity and after his shed he has been fine ever since.
