    BP color

    My snake shed on the 15th so I doubt its about to start sheding again but I've noticed a slight blue coloration to its scales expecially on its head. I'm wondering if this coloration is normal, am I just seeing things since i saw this at night while it was under its blak night bulb, or is there something I should be worried about? Also I use Reptisafe water drops which are blue so could this be the cause?

    Thanks

    Sounds like what you're describing is irridescence....which is perfectly normal and natural. many different snakes have that shimmery color to some degree or another. Ball pythons vary a lot on how much they have and how much it shows.

    I'm sure it has nothing to do with the water drops...but you could get rid of those anyhow...they're completely unnecessary.
