Sorry if the title sounds confusing. I have a ball python who was estimated at 1 year when I got him/her months ago. We've gone through many good sheds at this point. He (we just assume he) eats well (frozen/thawed rat) and has a great laid back temperament.
Tank is in a 50s humidity and 90 degree to 92 on the hot side (depending on the temp of our house) and 75 to 80 on the cool side.
I don't have the best vision, so I don't always notice discoloration when he goes into shed. It is easy to miss when his eyes change. Today I noticed odd scales on his head. Only his head. Nowhere else. I held him, and while he was a bit flighty (moving a lot), he didn't act off.
I can't tell if the spot is scale rot, start of a new shed, or leftover from a bad shed.
Any ideas and what my next steps should be? I upped his humidity. In the 60s right now.
Thanks!
