Dry spots?

    Dry spots?
    So my new baby BP looks like she's developed some dry patches on her? I tried googling it but everything I found was about retained shed. The patches didn't show up until after she shed about a week ago but as far as I can tell her shed all came off in one piece (she happened to shed while I was in the room, it all came off really smoothly).
    Her day time temp is around 90 on the warm side and ambient nighttime is about 80. Humidity is around 50% but I have been having a few problems keeping it regulated.
    I don't have any pictures right now because she just ate last night and I don't want to bother her but I'll try to post some later today.
    Any suggestions or thoughts would be great.

    P.S. I've been considering giving her a bath- would that maybe help or no?

    Hi,

    It's not uncommon to have the very top layer of some of the new scales to come off with the shed. They tend to look rough and unreflective compared to the other scales.

    Ahh. That makes sense. Will it just go away (hopefully) with the next shed, then?

    Also, is there anything I can do next shed to help it not happen again?

    It should. :)

    And maybe increase the humidity slightly.
