    Kinda creepin me out

    So Sat. is feeding day at my house, I get done with most of my snakes then move on to my Het Ghost male. He is in his hide and I see skin in there from a fresh shed. So I move his hide and pick him up to see how he looks and the first thing i see is some of his scales on the dorsle(sp) region of the first qurater of his body. Some of the scales have lost pigment completely, even scales that should be black are now white. I am going to post pics later, I need to finde my camra. But has any one ever seen this before.
    That just happened!

    Re: Kinda creepin me out

    I think there was a post from a while back that somebody had a spider that after each shed, scales along the back would turn solid white.
