First of all hello everyone.


10 days ago me and my wifey bought another BP. This time high white piebald male. It's not the first snake but it is the first one I'm experiencing problems with.


The first thing that bothers me, it seems like he's not interested or just has no idea on how to shed. He shedded like a week from when he was bought. It was a totally bad shed. Most of the old skin is/was still left on him. Only on belly it was removed by slithering around his terrarium. I have no idea why he was like that. My other snake are vicious when it comes to rubbing their old skin, but not this one, like he wasn't even interested or bothered with shedding itself. We soaked him in a lukewarm water and managed to gently rub out most of the bad shed, except around his head that we didn't have will to molest him any more. He has some bad shed stuck on his left side over one eye top half of head and some neck. The temperatures and humidity was about right the whole time. 90-92F hotspot and 70-74% of humidity. That always worked with other snakes. Mainly no bad sheds. Is it possible that snake doesn't know how to shed? Can I do something about that? I've helped him as much it was possible and I was allowed but still that's not a way to go.


And now for the biggest problem I have with my new addition. There are some weird black spots under his scales. I just can't describe it. It doesn't seem to be ticks or mites, nothing was found on paper towels. I hope the attached pictures will be some help to you and it can be diagnosed. At the sale he was supposed to be healthy. He is in a quarantine of course. There's not may of them. Roughly i would say 3-5 spots like this.














I hope anyone can help me with him, and primarily that he will be OK and a happy snake like the other are. He's a cute snake, afraid of everything but is nosy and likes to check on things and happenings around him

Best regards to everyone and thanks for any possible help
