Hey everyone I have a quick question:
I left for a few days to go home for Thanksgiving and when I came back my BP had managed to not only rip the thermometer off the wall of the tub but to also spill her water and pee all over her paper towels (Sheesh, it was a mess) Anyways, as I was changing her towels out for Aspen, I noticed that she had some raised scales and that they felt rough and were making a noise as she crawled around my neck. I first though that I caught her in the middle of a shed, so I soaked her for 30 min in lukewarm water but when I checked her this morning, she has NO shed loose and no pink belly, cloudy eyes, etc. Basically no signs of shedding or going into blue as far as I can tell.
It is not scale rot as there is no swelling, infection, nothing. I have been putting neosporin on a cut she had on the underside of her neck near her head but these scales aren't really near that wound.
The scales just individually flake off in one piece or you can peel them off. Really weird. I read somewhere that this is a sign that a BP is about to shed in some cases. What do you guys think? Caused by the super low humidity after the spilled water and pee dried up? Or just pre-shedding? OR something more serious?
