brown spots

[southbay54]

My snake is about to shed. I've notice little brown spots like maybe 3-4

Could you elaborate a little bit? Where are the brown spots? when did they appear? Picture?

[southbay54]

on the skin lol. how do you upload a pic?

[Ronin]

You have to upload a pic to a website like photo bucket and copy and paste the link

Well a ball pythons naturally have brown spots. We can't really tell you if its a problem or not until we see a picture.

Where on its body are the spots?

Are they bumps or spots? A picture would help, I use photobucket.

probably what I call a 'dry scale'...sometimes a single scale or few scales will almost wrinkle up or dry out. it is quite common and could be caused by low humidity or other simple issues(I believe too dry air most of the time though). I have seen it on a few species, but more on balls than anything else. my albino black pastel has a couple on him...but they will usually go away with the shed...if not, they will by the next shed. think of it, as kinda a snake scab. it will more than likely go away after a shed or two. I would not worry about it!
