    huh, well the other day while outside with my red tail, Emily...I had noticed the there was a spot down more towars her bum that two or so scales looked a bit bent, the only conclusion is that she might have did it to herself while just movin about in her cage going on and off her log set up. Didnt seem to bother her at all tho

    My Bubba has a few scales like that also Mike.. I'm guessing he must've slid off his log the wrong way or something. I've noticed some slight changes in the past few days though, for the better.

    Currently Keeping - 4 ball pythons, a redtail boa, and a cali king. Now look, admit it. You know you want to give me an albino ball python.

    I think it may just be when they hit reverse (lol) and their scales get caught. I don't think it would be anything to worry about though.
