    Cant tell what this is.

    Ok so 2 hatchlings from the same clutch have not shed.
    And uts been 2 weeks or so since they came out.
    Now theyre bellys look aweful by the tail and they look crazy

    Heres the butter thats most obvious.







    Idk whats the deal. Looks like belly burn but none of the others in rack of 10 are affected.
    And the heat tape is set to 89'.
    My snake room is rather warm already so I dont set their hot spot too high. Or it gets over 100 in the room and more I. The racks.

    Yup, looks like they'll be slithering out of that old skin right soon too.

    The skin just looks a little dry to me.. Are you keeping the little ones on slightly damp paper towels until they shed?

    Looks like maybe the babies weren't rinsed off after hatching. I notice they tend to look dry if I don't wash them, even if they're not

    Ya they're going to shed out soon. Keep them on damp papertowel. They're just a little dry. As soon as they come out of that skin you'll see a 100% difference.
