    Any help or advice is really appreciated. He finished his shed from the second set of photos, hwoever, these weird "dry" and "cracked" scales on this right snout are concerning me and my gf.

    Thanks again!

    Probably just a bit of stuck shed. Make sure his humidity is good and he should be fine. They will probably come off with his next shed if he doesn't get them off sooner.

    I don't see anything out of the ordinary if I'm honest?

    Some of his scales look a little bit extra-crinkly on the side of his face...is that what you're asking about? Assuming so, I wouldn't lose sleep over it...may improve
    after a few sheds, but I don't think there's anything you can "do" about it att. Possibly a bit of stuck shed, but hard to tell in one photo. Truly it's not a big deal.
