    Exclamation dry scale patch?

    im noticing dry scale patches on my bp near his tail, im not sure if this is a sign of shedding or maybe he isnt hydrated enough? i have coco substrate, water dish, live plants, and i mist his cage, i also do catch him drinking water, and he enjoys infrequent swims in my sink or bathtub, he is good live feed eater.. i just cant seem to find a problem? im so worried his scales are going to be damaged!

    Can you take a pic and post it? It's usually just stuck shed that didn't come off (so you should bump up humidity).

    If you're having a hard time bumping humidity, you can just make a humid hide. Stick some damp sphagnum moss in the hide along the sides.
