Health Concerns

Faster Dec 19, 2008 12:11 PM

Hello,
Thank you all in advance to those who reply to this posting.
I have a young 08 Spider Ball Python. He has been eating great, and putting on weight. I have seen no symptoms of any ill health. I have recently noticed however some of the scales on his belly look as if they are for lack of a better word decaying. Other than that he looks great. I have kept BP's in the past, and never seen this. It isn't really bad, and i'm not sure if it will get worse or clear up? If anyone can shed some light on this it would be greatly appreciated. And for those who may think it may be some sort of burn, i'm positive it's not.
Thanks so much!

JM

What kind of heat source do you have for him?
