what's up with her scales???

rusti Jan 02, 2005 05:50 PM

this pic was taken post-shed of my 9 mo. old normal. the shed came off in peices (due to low humidity) and now as you see in the pic, some of the scales are kinda weird now. they are pale and the blue irridesence is missing in many places. she almost looks like a callico cat with all of the pale patches. here's the links to the pics...

Please let me know if this is serious or minor. are there any vitamin suppliments or preventatives for the snake that will improve it's health? thanks a bunch.

They are from the poor shed (retained shed on certain scales) and should simply clear up as long as the next shed is good. Watch your humidity and it should all be fine.
