    BRB Scales look weird

    So, after her shed and poop, she has a small spot that looks like the clear stuff on top of the scare came off. Here's a couple pictures, and its just the 1 spot nowhere else at all!

    I have seen this happen before but I'm not 100% sure why. Last I saw, they were trying to fix the humidity issues saying that it has something to do with that... Idk, maybe someone more experienced with that species will know right away. Best of luck!

    I may be wrong on this, but it may be a small piece of retained shed. Especially considering that you found it right after shedding. If that is the case, then your humidity is too low, so you will need to bump it up.

    It is definitely not stuck shed or humidity, she stays 70-75% all the time. To me, it looks like she maybe tried rubbing too hard to get her shed off or something. Her shed came off in one piece so that is how I know its not that, no holes or anything in it!!! Her sheds ALWAYS come off in one nice piece rolled up into a small little donut looking thing lol. and yes, I unroll it to check!!
