    A few pics and a few questions regrarding my new baby ball

    Hey guys and gals, I have noticed a few things with my new baby ball that have me a little concerned. But first a few crappy iphone glamor shots!







    ok so here are a few things that have me concerned. First is this discoloration under his head....



    It could be 100% normal but hey it can't hurt to check!!

    Second is this crease close to her tail....





    I know the pics aren't the best but its all I have for now!

    The pictures are really hard to tell anything, but for the discoloration under the "chin", their necks are very stretchy so they can swallow large prey, sometimes the scales under there look like a different color because they are more separated. It's impossible to tell with these pictures though. The crease could be him/her ready to shed maybe? Doesn't look like anything serious, I'd give it more time before you start worrying.

    The best that I can offer on the scale discoloration is to keep an eye on it and compare it to the photo that you posted to see if it changes, or gets worse. Hopefully, it's not scale rot...
