White scales or wounds?
Hey Guyzz,
Bella had these white/pink scales on her since I have her, when she shed last night the white/pink scales came clearer.. or is this from bad shedding or something.. ??

Re: White scales or wounds?
Kinda hard for me to tell from the pics, but sometimes they just get weird, like the top layer or two get rubbed off with the last shed and they look funny, or it could be that they're old scars from something?

My snake had a few white scales and at first I was a little worried, but a few days later she went into shed and it went away.
It could just be a scale or two that are ready to shed before the rest because of a scratch or something.

But she shed last night and she had it before she shed only not as clear as now..

Re: White scales or wounds?
Is she in a tub or a tank? Is there anything that she could be rubbing up against in her enclosure? Looks like what I call "tub rub" from some of my kiddos in the Sterilite 41 quart locking tubs that have an edge that hangs down from the lid near the lock - they squeeze themselves between where the lock ledge is and that lip and scrape away the top layer of color.

Seen the same thing happen, only it didnt scrape any parts of the scales away, just gave the scales a white appearance.
