    Re: New here, with a question about my ball and his skin~

As he gets bigger and takes larger meals, you should probably increase it a couple of degrees. The main suggestion I would make is to stop bathing him - he doesn't need it, and it's likely causing his skin to be drier and leave those occasional unshed scales behind.
