    The picture quality is a bit bad, and only one picture shows up. However, from that one picture, I would say it looks like some of the new scales got stcuk to the shed, and peeled away with the old skin. If that is the case, it is strictly asthetic, and should go away after the next 1 to 2 sheds.

    Thanks! Is the quality of the picture so bad? Sorry...i thought one can see the "scratches" or whatever quite good.

    Should i rub some creme, like bepanthen on the spots? What do you think...

    Best wishes

    You shouldn't need to put anything on it. Just wait for the next shed.

    While I have no idea what all those are. I felt that I should (as I already rudely point out flaws in people's picture taking abilities) tell you how GORGEOUS those pictures are.

    There is something about the blues and other cool colours of the background in contrast to the bright reds of the foreground. I assume this is the difference of tungsten lighting/your flash VS daylight (the background which tends to come out in blues).

    I clicked the first picture and was awestruck, it was great I'm giving you rep for these pictures man.

    Sorry if I sound like a jerk based on what the focus of the photos is, however I thought I might point it out ~_~ Sorry
