    Should be okay. I had two of my pastels belly get dried brown scales a couple of times. I was terrified that it was rot - it came off with the shed. I wouldn't worry until after she sheds - if its still there after that you should make a vet appointment.

    Cheers.

    That's a good thing - there is so much more care needed when dealing with reptiles in comparison to any domestic pet. It's much better to be concerned than complacent.

    Great news! Best shed she has ever had since I had her as a hatchling (5 months) almost a one piece shed! back of her tail broke free or it would have been. So, now i know what to keep up. Also, yellow spots went away as you mentioned, as well as her "wrinkly" neck! Back to the same ol' snake I know and love.
