Shaddy is a 2 year old(I think) Ball python. He has just finished a shed. Now before the shed i noticed pink on his belly. Yes, yes i know its normal, but this isn't. The scales on the midsection looked brown on the tips and were very dry to the point of flaking. I had just put a heating pad under his tank(on the outside ;0) and thought that might be the cause of the problem. So the shed went ok. He still has what look like sores but its only a single scale..and its brown. Has about 3 of them. Also he still has pinkness on his belly(more on the tail end if anything. I've been using a snake oil called Benson & Sons in hopes that this would help. I just don't know what to do.



Just spent $200+ on a nice new tank, new heating pad and ceramic heat lamp. Also a nice long log for him to hide under.



The temp in his tank is constant 85+ with a baking spot of 90.

The humidity is around high 40's to low 60's.



I fed him 2 large mice on Monday and was going to feed him more on Friday


Please help.
