Hi,
That is kind of worrying to my mind.
Not that there is anything wrong with the snakes health or anything I hasten to add.
It's just that every time we have seen that it turned out to be a batch of CF's that had been given iodine baths etc to remove any possible external parasites.
That really isn't something I would expect in a het pied which I asume should be CBB not CF.
Where did you buy it and who from?
Did it come with any paperwork?
It may very well be someone reputable that did it and everything is fine - but either way it should be gone once he sheds.
