my male tiger might be calico

not sure I would say thats a calico man it looks like something is wrong with the scales like they are dried out or an infection or something

no man there fine i email N.E.R.D. the pics Kevin said that i might be right, but i wont know untell a few more sheds.

and on top of that i take real good care in my snakes,i have had this guy since he was a mean little guy back in 2003,, this guys has the poss to be he is a wild caught snake. but every thing is fine with him there no different feel to those white scales ,than any other scale on his body

I didnt say you didnt take care of your snakes. I just stated I didnt think it was a calico.

a no its cool,, i dont know what its is all i know is that its not hurting him and hes fine,,,, but come on what would you think if one of your burms are perfectly healthy and one day its sheds and there are scales that are dang near pure white ,,, hes fine and its not in just one spot on his body,,, kind odd,, but yeah man no hard feelings ,,,, if hes not cool with me but if he is well heck i got one heck of a cool snake...,,, but yeah its kool

if it was one of my burms and he shed and had a mark like that on his head we would be at the vets office now. I have to much invested in my burms to take a chance wondering what something is. He may turn out to be calico. Who produced him? How long have you had him? How old is he? Im sure you take really good care of your snakes but I take good care of mine to and one of my burms got a horrible infection about a year ago and really messed him up. So sometimes things happen. I would separate him from my other snakes until I was sure what was going on.

I have seen this type of discoloration before and it was from some stuck shed that waqsnt noticed but came off with the next shed cleared up after the following two sheds and went back to normal color. maybe you'll be lucky and it will end up being a calico, but it seems kind of on the older side of anything I have heard of going through the change.

ok man dang, and he is 6 years old, was wild caught, went to the vet this morning, that how i know hes fine, he's 14' feet in length, has no mite or parasites, has plenty of water humidity, and i probably have just a much invested in my retics, as you do in your burms.. man im not trying to fight, dang i have said throw out this post that there is nothing wrong with him, and like i said befor i could care less if he was i just wanted some input on this and nothing else the whole there is nothing wrong with him has lond done past on the other page,,, so come on man, there scales that are white the are just like the other scales on his whole body, but there white and some are half white and half his regular color.

Maybe you are misunderstanding my posts or something. Im not trying to argue with you or anything you asked for others input and I just gave you mine. Im not trying to fight just trying to help answer your questions. Glad to see he got taken to a vet and checked out.

i soak and shed the snake my self so i don't have a big miss in the cage ,, im kind of a clean freak...the only reason i didn't get his head this time is because he is in one hell of a breeding mood and is a little nippy this time of year.
