A few spikey scales jutting out after shed?

pepe15 Mar 04, 2004 01:55 AM

So this is the first time that my little 3-6 mo old corn has shed with me-had her about a month. It did not come off in one piece and I only found one eye scale though both eyes looked fine. But along the mid section she has a couple of scales jutting out from the rest, not the belly scales just the side ones. Did these individual scales not shed? If so I can just soak her to get those off, but I am not sure. My temps are 85 high and 70 low, 50-60% humidity, aspen bedding, two hides (warm and cool side), normal stool and a good appetite of pinkies for a 15-17 inch corn.

Thanks for your help,
Jamie

It's normal i can tell when i take my corns out which way they were laying because the outside bend always has a few scales sticking out.
