    Am I crazy or is this a scaleless head?

    So I bought this female at the reptile super show and I think she may be a scaleless head! I was cleaning out her cage today and I noticed she's missing a scale right on her head. I noticed since I bought her that she had a funny pattern on her head. I know it's a long shot but I know that with the scaleless head it can be from missing one scale to many. But the more I look at her it seems like she is a scaleless head! Please get back to me

    It's most likely something whacky that happened with her last shed. Or some type of injury. See if it fixes itself after a couple sheds.

    On an actual Scaleless Head the scales arent just dried or damaged, they are clearly and neatly not there. It also would NEVER slip through the cracks at this point.

    It's definitely worth finding out. Did the seller point that out to you? Was it purchased as a normal female?
    Lots of BPs, and still not enough!

    Sorry, but I've had this on one of mine before when a shed went poorly, and it took a few for it to go away. But it will go away eventually.
    Where are we going, and why am I in this handbasket?

    Never argue with idiots. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with their experience.
    Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.

    I had a feeling it was just a bad shed but it didn't notice that until I took a good look at her. She is missing a scale almost on her head that's why I figured, but I thought I'd get some opinions before I jumped to any conclusions.
