    Exclamation Flaking BP Scales!!!

    I have few month old BP in a 10 gallon tank and he has been doing very well. He has never refused food, and already has had his first shed since my ownership and it was great. But whenever I hold him, all across his belly, it feels as if the scales are flaking off. You can only feel this if you run your head across his belly up to his head. Is this normal or is the beginning stages of something bigger?

    UP to his head? Pretty sure that's just called rubbing them the wrong way... unless they're actually coming off? Are they? Or do they just feel like it, like they're lifting?
    If it just feels like they're lifting but they look normal I'm gonna say you're just rubbing the wrong way...
