White spots on my Ball Python

[Reptile dude007]

I took over 70 pictures these are the best I could get.
It look like it is starting to go onto her head. I think I should take her to the vet and have them check her out.
She didn't want me too use the tripod


And just to show that she didn't want me too take pictures she bit at me.




Could this be Scale Rot?

are these new? They look like old scars, one of my rescues has them, I think from burns.

[piper]

Really bad shed?

[Slim]

I'm sorry, but I really don't see anything wrong with your BP. The one picture shows what look like some old scars, but other than that, nothing I can tell from the pictures.

[DutchHerp]

I think they're old scars.

[hoo-t]

The last pic almost looks like "fuzz" or cotton? If that's so, it might be fungus. How is your husbandry? Keeping the cage clean? What is the humidity like? Is the substrate dry? If its fungus, I've never dealt with it on a snake before, so a vet visit is probably called for. I do know that in a lot of cases, the fungus treatment for humans is the same whether its for athlete's foot, jock itch or even toenail fungus, but I don't know if that would be safe for a snake. If it looks like cotton growing on the snake take it to a vet.

Steve- that's what I was thinking too. Hard to tell from those pictures though. They do also look like old scars but if they're new spots, that's not really possible.

grammie, Yes, they are new.

piper, Thanks. She shed last month and this is when it started happening.

hoo-t, I can tell its not fuzzy by just touching it. It feels like skin. I think I take great of her. Yes it gets cleaned once a week. 80% to 90% tops. I live in California on the coast so it stay fairly humid here. I use paper towels. So yes the sub is dry unless she tips her water dish over.

Are the scales white, or is it white on top of the scales? In other words, are they regular, but white, scales?

If so, seems like there's some weird pigmentation going on...

[JeffJ]

looks like scale loss.

why though?
