Dry skin?

Hey, I haven't posted on this site in a while due to being very very busy with college etc..
but I have a question it seems my Ball has dry skin at the end of his and going down his neck a bit.. when I say dry skin I mean dry scales I can't get any pictures at the moment but it feels rough etc.. I don't think its stuck shed because he has had perfect sheds the temps and are humidity are all fine.

Is there anything anybody could suggest? please and Thank you.






*Title should be called Dry scales, my bad :O*

Hey stranger.

Have you tried giving a little soak to make sure it's not just a stuck patch. Did you notice this a few days after a shed or did it just randomly pop up?

hey KMG, yeah I have tried giving him a little soak and putting the humidity up but it just stays I think he has had this since I got him but more of the scales seem dry now, it hasn't affected his behaviour at all and he doesn't mind me touching it so I'm not sure :S

Strange. Are the scales bend upward making them feel rough? My big blood has some scales that are creased/bent on her where she usually bends when laying around. When you run your hand over it I could see how it would seem rough.


I'm at a loss. I think a pic could really help.

Here are the best pics I could get he would not stay still -.-

His scales don't look that bad today but you can still kind of get the idea:

Not that great, and his scales don't look so dry but...

Interesting. Has it been doing something repeatedly or could it have tried to squeeze through something to cause it.

I really don't know. The snake looks good though.

No he doesn't do anything really that could cause this I have no idea lol.
