Dry Spots on BPs Head

[Sanova]

Hi guys, My BP is not 6months old. Her temperatures are as they should be and humidity at a steady 53.

She feeds and behaves very well, but I just got her out and noticed that the top of her had seems to have white flakes, kinda like dry skin.

I've had her for about a month and a half and she hasn't shed yet since being in my care. Her eyes are not noticeably opaque, nor do i see any pink in her belly [may be subtle].

I don't want anything happening to my bp so i'm posting here. Is it possible that my humidity is too low? faulty gauge or something?

Her tale does look mighty pale though, but she ate fine this passed wednesday, so i'm not sure if she's just preparing for shed or what have you.

Cell phone pics didn't even show what i'm describing so i didnt post any,

thanks!

She should be getting ready for a shed. Mine is just a little older, and she is going about every 5 weeks. If it is a shed it wouldnt' hurt to bump that humidity a bit. I went to 70, and my bp had a perfect shed. Mine also eats why she is in shed. She's a porker, and I don't think she'd ever turn down a meal. You could put a little neosporin on it if you think its a scratch. But she should turn blue, then opaque, then start shedding.

Thank you very much! Its definately not a scratch, looks like she was sun bathing too long or something. Her tail is pale and as you get closer to the head it gets gradually more pigmented, aside from the dryness on her head.

Shes on my lap right now, and has been hiding in my jacket for a bit. She usually is zipping around everywhere so i think she might be going into shed. Thanks again!
