We were seconds away from adopting what was said to be a male normal (he was quite large) we were ecstatic I told her I would like to check for mouth rot and as i was flipping him over to get to his coiled head we noticed (and this is what I'm curious about) he had about 1/4" belly scales with multiple redish brown hair width lines going vertically all the way down the length of his body, we were thinking early stages of scale rot? or maybe a serious mite problem? anyone with input so we know in the future what to look out for. On a side note, I didn't notice but my wife said, when he tongue flicked his tongue it was white (didn't open it after seeing his belly) we assumed mouth rot but incase it has anything to do with his belly I figured I would mention it.
Its a shame that people can't take the few minutes it takes a week to change water, bedding and once or twice a month scrub down the enclosure. Very Sad!
