4 month old ball, spots on scales??

karizmaflip Apr 02, 2004 12:21 PM

I bought this baby a month and a half? ago and he is very tame and cute. he shed once since i had him and it was perfect and he is going to shed again really soon. he eats great and all that but- he has very dull dry looking patches on his scales. i heard it was from a bad shed. and since he is so young, will those go away after a few more sheds? thanks so much!

those should be gone with the snakes next shed. if it just old skin stuck on, it might come off sooner. but if it is really i minor scrape it should be almost totally gone in the next one or two sheds. it pretty cool how quickly they heal from things like that.
