    Scale Troubles

    Hey all! I recently moved my bp into a larger tub and melted holes in the sides, which I quickly realized were large enough for her to get her head through. The same night, I partially blocked off each one using cardboard and tape (on the outside of the tub). However, it appears she is still insisting on shoving herself through only to pull back and scrape up her scales (sorry the images aren’t great). I’ve resorted to simply covering them entirely and making smaller holes, but should I worry about her being a bit scraped up? There’s no open wounds and she seems fine, just looks rough..I’m assuming it’ll correct itself in the next shed?

    also: you can use a glue gun to fill the big holes so they're not as large.
