    Weird scales??

    Hello!
    I just got this beautiful BP about 2 and a half weeks ago. I just noticed these weird scales on her last night (second picture). I'm not sure if I should be worried... I can't find any info online and no one in my other BP groups seem to know what it is. The scales went down today (first picture), but still look a little funny. She is almost 2 months old. She is eating very well, and just chills in her hide all day. She has never shed with me before. She's not showing any signs of shedding that I know of. Her temps are about 82-86 ambient , she's on a CHE and her humidity is usually around 60-65%. There are no adhesives in her tank. I can't find any info on what could have caused the swollen scales. She had her first poop with me yesterday, I found it in her hide when I went to pick her up. So she was chilling in the hide with her poop for some hours.. Maybe that could have caused it? Any ideas? Thank you!




    This is today, the scales went back down. They look normal when she's straight.




    These are the scales last night.

    I think she just scraped against something in her cage...the equivalent of you or I having "bed-head", lol. Sometimes their scales get bent backwards...should
    normalize in future shed.
