Random White markings
Today, after my BPs shed, i noticed 2 white marks. There were little white spots b4 the shed. Any ideas? Are they normal?

Re: Random White markings
Hard to tell from the picture, but it could just be scales that rubbed off during the shed. My pastel had a terrible shed once, which left him with multiple "bald" spots... took about two more sheds to clear up, but now he looks good as new. So I'd recommend waiting another shed cycle or two, unless those white spots are moving - then you obviously have a parasite, LOL.

they arent moving. they were just 2 spots befor the shed, now they are more like 2 lines. pretty possitive it is not parasite related. thnks for the thoughts tho.

My guess then is what I said above (lost scales), or possibly stuck shed... you might want to give him a little soak, and see if it clears up. I wouldn't worry either way, unless it's still there after a shed or two.
