A few weeks ago I got an adult male BP from Craigslist (he was in a 10 gallon tank with a heat rock!!). He's got some burns on him, but they are minor and healed.
Anyways, I've been taking good and proper care of him. But when I got him, I noticed his belly scales are always getting... snagged. On me, on my hands, on the couch when he slithers around, etc. I thought it might be taken care of it with proper heating and humidity, but it hasn't seemed to.
I haven't had a chance to hold him for a week due to helping my family move, and when I picked him up, his belly scales caught /snagged on my own skin, and I swear I heard them making a cracking sound...
But his tummy looks fine, and it feels smooth if I rub it one particular way. Any ideas? Or is that what it's supposed to be like when they are adults? It makes him a bit of a pain to handle, too. I don't want to hurt him. :/
