What the?

Okay, so my snakie-poo has been fine ever seince I got her, and then these little... dry-looking spots appeared out of nowhere about two weeks ago, and my mom told me not to worry about it. Now she is shedding, and she has the head part off, and now theres a dry-looking spot on her head! They are really small, and there are some spots where only like.. one or two scales looking dry-ish. I have no clue what the heck it is. Her humidity is 60-65 and temps are normal. She's been perfectly healthy so far? Anybody have any idea?

is there any way to post pics?

[Saucey_do]

Yeah, but it might be hard to see (because she is in shed) You might only be able to see the one on her head. Hold on, lemme get my camera.

Theres where the spots were before she started shedding, and you can kinda see them, but alas my camera sucks. I couldnt get the one on her head to show that well.

It could well be a few scales of retained shed but we need to see pics.
If it it is nothing to worry about per se but you may need higher humididity next time - what are you measuring with?

Edit - that doesn't look like retained scales Im not sure it is much at all - best bet is to mist the cage up and leave the BP be till tomrrow and then see if it is still an issue.

A humudty gauge I got at petco.

The analogue gauges are not very accurate - it is probably worth picking up a digital one next time you get the chance but its not a big deal.

Is this you first shed?

[Saucey_do]

No, it's more like... the fifth which is why it seems weird to me because her tank has always been the same and then this happened? The only thing i've changed was changing her from one of those fancy water bowls to a dog-bowl like bowl because the other one has kinda heavy and a pain to clean. But those spots were there a little before the change.

Saucey, my snake has similar dry spots on his head, and a few on his body. Although they are very small and seem harmless, it's still annoying. I am in the same boat, as my humidity is in the ideal range. You can only see the tiny dry spots when he is directly under a fluorescent light. They are so small and so few that I'm not even going to worry about it. I'd wait it out until your next shed to see what happens.

I would recommend soaking her in warm 90 degree water for a few hours to help remove dry shed areas. Humidity is difficult to control in a tank thats why many of us use tubs even then it can get dry sometimes.
