I'm not sure if you are aware, but everytime a snake sheds they tend to "brown out".. I believe this may be what you are seeing because looking at the picture I don't know see anything unusual.. :)

In that photo, unless it is just not coming up clearly, I see nothing wrong..

ya ive hurd of certin speicies of snakes that fade as they grow but i thot BP's were supposed to hold there colour as they age... also my lil girl is only abot 6 months old ...

do they look like this:

oh and she is being treated guys. already looking a bit better!

[QUOTE=Lucas339;934988]do they look like this:

so whats are u treating her for/ with ??? ... im kinda has the same thing goin on ... but over a bigger area

scale rot :(

currently im washing with warm antibacterial soap water 2X daily. after the wash i rinse with warm water and then dry and put some neosporin on it. i am, however, going to start cleaning it with an idodine solution just to give it a little boost. the spots look better already but don't want this to linger.

i also took out her water bowl and im going to start chaing the newsprint and sterilizing the tub more often (like every 3rd day) to keep bateria down.

It just looks to me like a Normals..well, normality :P Unless the picture doesn't really show well what you're concerned about, I don't see anything wrong.

And be careful with neosporin, I've heard it can get quite messy and you need to make sure you use the right kind (though I can't say much more than that because I've never used it on my snakes)

neosporin has to be plain neosporin without painkiller not PLUS... Neosporin will probably cause a bad shed, but it will at least help the snake heal...
