I'm rather new to this disease and I'm afraid my snake has it. I googled and there's not much info out there on it. I have a few questions, much appreciated if someone can answer them.

They say "alligator skin". Is that full body or just a portion? My snake has rough, unsheded-like skin only on a small portion of his body. Think the size of a coin, somewhere after his neck portion. There are no signs of it anywhere else. It had a good (I think) shed about a week ago and the "unsheded" portion became even more visible after that.

It does seem sluggish, especially compared to how it was until a few months ago. It also seems much more reclusive and I've caught it drinking water quite often.

Occasionally I find it in strange positions, such as between the glass of the terrarium and a rock, as if it got stuck in there.

The snake eats regularly.

Any information you can provide? Advice? Where can I find a detailed description of this disease and maybe some pictures of the "alligator skin"? Thanks.
