    Question scar after shedding? :S

    ok , so im posting this after my last BP shed wich was last wednesday. after my BP sheded , i found a white scar on her head, it doesn't look like a skin that didn't shed it looks like a scar but there was no blood and it wasn't there before the shedding. what could this white scar be? i'll post a picture later when my camera charges.

    the ball python had some scale damage on her neck too when i got her , wich showed alot of healing after the sheding it nearly disapeared. also on her head where there is the scar she had a little bit of scale damage but nothing serious.

    will the scale damage on her neck heal completly ? also , will the scar on her head heal completly ? what could have caused it? could have she made during sheding while rubbing her nose to things ? or could it be that where she had the small hit on her nose the scales felt of during shedding?

    Everything should heal. Not sure if the damage to the skin will leave a permanent scare. Only time will tell.

    sometimes they can get a lil "rough" while shedding. its really hard to say anything without actually seeing it. my snake got dehydrated cuz of meds from the vet so she had a wierd spot in the middle of her head until she got better. post pics and people will be able to help a lil more
