Hey all, I'm a new owner (4 days) my juvies have developed what looks like a snail ran over their head (maybe dead skin). It is a whitish color right between their eyes and snout. Is that just regular sheding or should I look into a vet?

i wouldn't worry about it, i don't really know what causes it, but sometimes my babies and juvies will end up with a " dandruff" looking texture on their heads. i know it's not stuck shed because the rest of the body doesn't show it, especially the toe pads which will usually be the worst during shedding.

I've got the same kind of thing on 1 pair of tiger clutchmates, looks a bit like shed smaller than a small grain of rice. Funny thing is that it's on both in the exact same spot, over their left eye. I am waiting for their next shed to see whether it remains, but it doesn't bother me much because they are completely healthy, active and eating.
