    Pockmarks on my hatchlings neck
    We noticed some pockmarks on my albino hatchlings neck. Almost looks like she lost some scales . You can kind of see them in the pic. Best pic I could get she wont stay still. She just shed last week and ate on Monday. Any idea what it could be?

    To be honest. With both of my albinos I currently own they both have these same issues. My 550 gram female has it just a little bit, and you can see and feel it when she bends a certain way. My 180 gram male has it too, again you can see it when he bends a certain way. I personally think its normal, and hasn't caused any issues with my big girl and I've had her since May. I think it may just be one of the quirks that certain morphs get.

    i can see it, but it looks quite harmless and normal to me.


    if the snake bends its neck, wen the neck is kurved, does this only happen on the inside or also on the outside? if its only on the inside, i see no issue at all.

    I've seen this in both albinos and Lucy's and pieds. it seems that the lack of pigment seem to make the scales slightly more flimsy. Nothing to worry about.

    You will see every blemish or imperfection in scales on an albino. Mine had the same thing as a hatchling. At 1100 g now and don't notice it as much or at all.

    My albino had weird mark/divet things when I first got her. They are long gone now.
