I have a question on a spot i found on my snake?

[aksledneck907]

So i went one day without handleing my ball python and the next day i went to pick him up and i noticed a white patch of skin almost like dry skin on the tip of his nose. i put this oil on him that is supose to help with skin problems and i kicked up the humidity a lil bit. is it anything i should worry about?

Hi,

It will probably be fine - sometimes they rub their scales a bit or something but it usually clears up with the next shed.

I'm not a fan of putting oil on my snakes as it occasionally causes them to shed in small pieces but that's just personal preference.

If you can get a nice picture of the area we might be able to give more specific info for you though.
