My BP's Scale Spot

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f7...as/photo-1.jpg

I dont know if you can see it but theres a shriveled looking spot on my BPs back, idk what it is as I'm still a begginer mostly, help?

That happens all the time, no worries. My female spider gets them on her head all the time. I think it's just a small issue from shedding.

Yup. It will clear up when they shed. I have a mojo that gets them on his head off and on. No worries:)

Yep, just a little blemish from shedding, nothing major. It'll be gone after the next shed! :)

Its probably not too far off then. When you notice him getting close then bump up his humidity a little and don't handle him. A lot of time spots like that will show up with handling/rubbing or low humidity. One spot is just fine but if you get whole big patches of them than you know something needs tweaked.

He looks like he is going in to shed anyway, skin looks rough and dull :)

thank goodness for that then, lol, I just got done feeding and cleaning his cage, but not in that order... hm anyway I'll start upping his humidity as best as I can to the close optimal percentage.

well this is new, my BP bent the thawed and prepared mouse in half... so its in the fetal position and he's trying to eat it at the arc of the back on the mouse... should I help him straighten it before he swallows it or leave him be...?

Leave it alone, he will figure it out;)

yea just leave him to eat it as he does i am sure he will be fine.
are you sure it was fully thawed? did you feel the mouse with your fingers to try and feel any cool spots?

I always make a thurough check over with my mice, I keep it in hot, but not boiling water for approximatly an hour, a little longer today, then I blow dry it so the heat from the dryer heats up the head (to attempt to make it an easier target)

just me being a noob XD I dont know if it actually helps, but I hope it does
