    Could you possibly upload a photo? It is difficult to diagnose anything without seeing it. Hope all goes well though.

    It can be normal if your snake is always coiled or its hides are too small. They will uncurl.

    Yes he/she stays curled up lots, specially right out of shed, the hides are big enough with room to grow i figure while the scales are soft they fold over, i went back to take pictures and now i cant find them.. Always works that way
