    Scale problems.

    My little boy/girl shed about a month ago. Sense then, there has always been a piece of skin on the top of her head and some on her body. How to I get these off? Humidity had been 70-80 and it has had some baths sense. It wont come off.

    Also, on its bottom, it feels kinda rough in one spot. I looked and it looks like a scale is raised just barely. Is something wrong?

    I am treating for mites, if that helps. It got it from :cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r:ing Petco.
    I love love love learning about herps, and I've just started researching recently, so talk to me.

    Re: Scale problems.

    Letting the snake crawl through a wet towel can help get stuck shed off. Sometimes you just have to wait for the next shed for it to all come off. As far as the belly scale goes, as long as it doesn't start changing colors to like a red or brown or gets crusty, which could be a possible scale rot, it too should be fine with the next shed. Just keep an eye on it and posting pics always helps...

    *Edit* What are you treating the mites with?
