Raised scales, red belly?
Hello all! I am new BP owner, having just purchased my first about two weeks ago. She is six years old, and appeared to be very healthy when I purchased her. However, I have noticed that the scales of her underbelly have started to look ragged/raised and sound 'crunchy' when I handle her. Her belly is also starting to take a pinkish hue, along with what looks like substrate or discoloring in-between some scales. I read that the coloring could be just that she's going into shed, but the raised scales are making me worried. They seem almost brittle. I don't see any signs of shed, like cloudy eyes or color as of yet either. Opinions on what this could be, and how I can help would be greatly appreciated!
I have her in a 20 gallon long, with eco-earth and bark as a substrate. Under heat mat, large bowl, and hide with damp moss. I mist her twice daily, getting the humidity between 30-50% and letting it dry between.
