    i have noticed this same thing on my BP before. I would not worry untill he/she sheds again. Any time i have noticed this on my BP, after he shed they were gone. If your temps and humidity is fine, than i wouldnt loose any sleep over it.

    Cool Re: dry scales??

    Being that temps and humidity are dead on, you really should not worry much. I agree with the two previous repliers. I have had some shed out and also have had some go away after a few good soaks in warmish water. Good luck with the dry scales and have a good night.
