    scales?
    Hey ya'll hope all is well, just a quick question
    when you're holding your snake, do you occasionally feel a loose scale here or there? It doesn't even have to be considered "loose" just a scale that pops out a little whereas all the other scales glide smoothly through your hand. I was holding pickles tonight to see how he was doing (great by the way) and I felt maybe 2 or 3? Nothing that i'm too worried about, more of a curiosity question
    Thanks ya'll!

    Re: scales?
    my snake has a couple belly scales that are a little "folded" in, and it feels kinda like a bump when they slide over, is it kinda like that?

    sometimes I catch a scale and pull it back slightly and sometimes you get bent turned up scales too. both are normal and fairly common occurrences.

    great that your little one is doing well :P
