    Shed issues

    Hi! My corn shed a few weeks ago. But I'm just starting to notice that a few spots on him look like some is stuck. I didn't notice this before but he's a spaz from never being handled his his first few years before I adopted him so its hard to get a good look at him. They are grayish, rough spots. Maybe the size of a scale or so. Should I just wait until his next shed to see if they come off or do I need to do something to help it along? It would be easier to wait and see because he is a spastic, nervous wreck and can be pretty aggressive. But if I have to, I will sacrifice my skin to help him Thanks!

    If the spots are only the size of a scale or so, I would just not worry about it until the next shed.

    They could be scales that didn't shed. They also could be the new scales that got damaged in the shedding process. Sometimes if the shed is a little stuck, a layer can get pulled off that wasn't supposed to.

    Awesome, thanks for the help. That's what I was leaning towards. I'll see how it works out next shed. Thanks!
