Re: Some Flaky Scales...Answers?
My girl has had some random scale flakes (almost like dandruff) when she's getting close to a shed. I have a feeling it's from low humidity. I've tried to up the humidity, but I won't know until her next shed if that remedies the flake issues.
Re: Some Flaky Scales...Answers?
My guy had some flaky scales but then his eyes grayed over and he's shedding now so that answers that question.
Re: Some Flaky Scales...Answers?
Wait til his/her next shed, mine had the same thing. It should clear up after that.:)

Re: Some Flaky Scales...Answers?
Hey,
My male ball python (6-7 months old) has some flaky scales on the "head" half of his body as well as an odd rough patch on his nose. I've got him on aspen shavings, with a blue lamp for the cool side (around 80) and an under-tank for the hot side (around 90). My little humidity thing usually reads between 50 and 70. He tends to stay on the cool side 90% of the time. The flaky body scales are fairly new, but the rough patch on his nose has remained through at least one, possibly two sheds. It looks almost scar-like, but I've never left him alone with a mouse and I've never seen any violence. Seems totally healthy otherwise, eats regularly, no visible mucous or anything. Should I be worried?
Here's the flaking scales:

And this one shows the rough patch on his nose:
