Reptile & Amphibian Forums

So at the pet shop i work at we have a few rainbow boa's. The other day I was cleaning them out and noticed this odd change in one of them and was curious to see if anyone had any opinions on it. Some of the scales are changing to white? I dont know if this might be a health issue or just some wierd color change. Thoughts?

haha its not for sale in the store its a breeder. There should be a picture link at the bottom of the post.

I would tend to agree with Cliff, it's not the scales turning white but the margins between them and the edges. I'm no vet but First thing that comes to mind is some sort of fungal infection.

I have/had Calico BRB's with areas that have turned white and have seen first hand how the color morphs to white and does not look like the pic you showed.
