i love my snake but its head is dry and scabby too. any help?!

can someone please help me i'm worried about my snake just like the thread starter.

I have a similar problem and have not been able to find anything to help. :O
:(
Second to last shed was a difficult one, a result from low humidity. There appeared to be residual, individual scales where the scales did not shed. I decided to wait for the next shed, thinking these would come off. :(

The next shed was textbook, as the humidity in the new tank maintains between 50%-60%. The individual scales did not come off with this most recent shed, however. :confused:They remain dull and wrinkled in appearance. I tried rubbing petroleum jelly (I figured this would be better than fragranced lotions) with Q-tips on each scale, hoping this would help. No such help. And now she's gone off feed on top of this.:weirdface I'm thinking it's the weather; snowing outside and the such.... Temps are good though, 80-95 degrees on the warm side.

Any suggestions out there on how to get these old scales to come off? :(She is most definitely not a soaker....

I was under the assumption that, they got RI from low temps not low humidity.:confused:. Ive never dealt with RI so just curious.

I noticed a similar phenomenon on my bp recently - about a week later, he shed and now it's not there. I thought maybe it was just part of the shed cycle....and dry weather - although my humidity has been OK with lots of work!

Thanks. Good to know that it will most likely clear up with a shed. I'll have to work harder with maintaining my humidity also.

so my bp had some dry skin on his nose and i put some snake oil on his nose and body and kicked up the humidity a lil bit but it went a way in a couple days. i dont know if you would want to do that or the temperment of your bp. but its up to you. good luck with that though

I thing in a few sheds it will be fine, like I said before mine had it worse and it got significantly better with the last sched the nivea moisturizing lotion helped I think.
