    jungle carpets too good to be true?

    I saw this ad on FC and can't tell if, in the second picture it looks like a couple of scars? Or maybe a skin problem ? My phone is not very clear when I zoom in.

    Could someone give me advice on this possible purchase?
    I'd really appreciate it.

    I don't know what that is. At the bottom of the picture I can see a couple of droplets of water hanging off the snake, so maybe those are just weird reflections of some liquid? It doesn't immediately look like a scar to me but it doesn't look like anything else that makes sense either - more like a blob of glue than anything else so hopefully just an odd angle on water droplets after a misting or something like that.

    You can ask them to post another picture without the water - that should let you be certain whether that's part of the snake or not.

    Re: jungle carpets too good to be true?

    I agree with possibly water. It looks like wax in the picture but it's hard to tell. They look like their humidity is too low in that enclosure or they are getting ready to shed so it may well be water. Hard to say.

    just looks like water droplets to me, though the skin at the bottom of the picture looks dry. the light is coming from above which is causing all that glare off the water droplets.

    I see no scars, I do see that the snakes are covered in water. Not a few drops, everywhere.
