    Shed problem! help!

    Ok first of all i feel like a terrible owner. I wasnt home today because I was at work and my humidity dropped. I came home to an enclosure with poop, not a bad thing, and a partial but majority of the body shed. I looked at my BPs head and noticed some white spots. I thought it was stuck shed and tried to gently wipe it with a towel. Then i realized, she was missing scales! I think they ripped off during shed. It is and off white color giving me the impression that it is skin and it also looks sunken in next to the other scales. what do I do?!? or will she be fine?

    It happens occasionally. Just make sure there is no excessive bleeding, open wounds, or sores and she should be fine. If you want, you can use a Q-Tip and dab a little Neosporin without painkiller on the spots for a couple of days just to be sure...

    No wounds, only visible skin like the way it looks between scales, no blood, the scales will eventually come back ryte
