    Royal Python head scales looking strange

    Hi all,

    I've had my royal now for around 3-4 months and she's feeding and shedding completely fine.

    I've recently noticed a few scales on her head that look really strange and not altogether correct.

    I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong?

    She is in a RUB for now until she's a bit bigger, she has 2 hides (1 hot, 1 cold), water bowl and I use aspen bedding.

    Her temps are 32c hot end and 28c cold end, humidity is sat at around 60%.

    Here's her head scales:








    Thanks in advance,

    ThatManZaq

    Looks like the humidity was a little low and the very top layer of the new scales came off with the old skin - should be fine after the next shed.
