    Scale concerns
    Okay now this is hard to explain but I will try. the scales on our new bp are bending. Well you know how they prick up if you rub them the wrong way? well they do that but they will stay up. What could this be from? Thinking maybe dehydration? Was alot of retained shed bits on it

    I plan on taking it to the vet. That will be scheduled by tomorrow. I have been soaking it in luke warm water. I have checked it for mites, found none. It also looks like it has been bit by another snake on its neck.

    Its acting just like all my other bps {which it is in quarinteen (sp?) so it is not around so dont worry}, Active, hides in hides. Gets feds wens so hopefully that will go well (still having problems with becca :( ).

    So any ideas? Has this happened to anyone?

    Yeah, sometimes they get those 'creases' in their scales from the way they rest.

    So the scale thing might be normal? I was jw because its not like any of the other bp.

    Mine also has creases. I figured that would just go away cuz it just had humidity problems lol
