    raised scales?

    Hey Guys!

    Got a question about dry/raised scales I found on one of my Bps..

    There's only a few of them around his belly, but his skin made a sound today when he moved, that sounded like paper crinkling.. It kinda freaked me out - I think he might be dehydrated (when only got him a couple of weeks ago and he was in pretty bad shape).

    I'm hoping this is the case and its not something worse. I was worried about scale rot.

    What do you guys think?!

    Thanks.
