    Raised scales?
    So it was cleaning day for the zoo here at my house. Everyone was looking good UNTIL I noticed that some of Kyros's Scales are a tad raised. The one's that are raised look alittle funny as well. Like there are ribs/grooves in them. Is this something I should worry about or do you think that he just rubbed something wrong. There is white underneath his scales but I have yet to see mites or anything. Again its like 9-13 scales in a localized area but its not like a scratch...What do the pro's think?:confused:

    Its from rubbing against something. Nothing to worry about. I am not a pro by any means but I have seen my share of ball pythons..

    Are they bent in half sort of? Could be a crease.

    Only time I've ever seen it in person was on an obese ball python. No different from stretch marks on a human.
