    Exclamation Scale dimples?

    Today I noticed some odd dimpling on my Pueblan milksnake. In the middle of individual scales there is a small concave or dimple. It almost looks like a tiny, tiny indent or something.

    Is this due to dehydration? Shedding? Husbandry?

    Please help!
    Goodbye,
    Sonya

    i used to see this a lot on my Burmese python... I assumed it was just from her laying in one position for an extended period of time...

    My camera isn't quality enough to take pictures that close up!
