Is this normal???

I recently changed my substrate from outdoor carpeting to eco-earth and now my ball is loosing clear scales all over the place is it the dirt? My humidity is always at 55-70% my heat is at 85-95 could someone please give me some feedback about this, thanks.

Hm, maybe they were scales that had been remaining from a previous shed, and the humidity of the eco-earth helped remove them? They would most likely have to be scales from a previous shed, because if they were not, you'd see white skin peeking out where the scales disconnected. Was the last shed, or the last few sheds, complete?

I thougth that it was a complete shed but it was my first with him. He is very healthy in every other way so maybel I should just stop worrying about it uh?

Just keep an eye out it may be possible you mistook what you saw - the only thing I have ever seen drop single scales is our plated lizard. It's possible as mentioned above he was dropping sections from an incomplete shed. Does the skin have a pretty uniform appearance in terms of sheen or glossiness?

Don't worry about it. I've noticed a few single scales here and there on my bp after a shed, but they always go away on the next shed. And then theres 1 or 2 in a different place, those come off, etc etc etc. Its just one of those things.
