    Pockmarks on my hatchlings neck

    We noticed some pockmarks on my albino hatchlings neck. Almost looks like she lost some scales . You can kind of see them in the pic. Best pic I could get she wont stay still. She just shed last week and ate on Monday. Any idea what it could be?

    To be honest. With both of my albinos I currently own they both have these same issues. My 550 gram female has it just a little bit, and you can see and feel it when she bends a certain way. My 180 gram male has it too, again you can see it when he bends a certain way. I personally think its normal, and hasn't caused any issues with my big girl and I've had her since May. I think it may just be one of the quirks that certain morphs get.
    I've got quite a few...

    i can see it, but it looks quite harmless and normal to me.


    if the snake bends its neck, wen the neck is kurved, does this only happen on the inside or also on the outside? if its only on the inside, i see no issue at all.
    The Big Bang almost certainly (beyond reasonable doubt) happened 13.7 billion years ago. If you disagree, send me a PM.
    Evolution is a fact, evolutionary theory explains why it happens and provides four different lines of evidence that coalesce to show that evolution is a fact. If you disagree, send me a PM.
    One third of the global economy relies on technology that is based on quantum mechanics, especially quantum electrodynamics (electron-photon or electron-electron interactions). If you disagree, send me a PM.
    Time Dilation is real, it is so real that all clocks if they are precise enough can measure it, and GPS could not possibly work without it.
    If you disagree, send me a PM.

    The 4 philosophically most important aspects of modern science are: Evolutionary theory, Cosmology, Quantum mechanics, and Einsteins theory of general relativity. Understand these to get a grip of reality.

    I've seen this in both albinos and Lucy's and pieds. it seems that the lack of pigment seem to make the scales slightly more flimsy. Nothing to worry about.

    You will see every blemish or imperfection in scales on an albino. Mine had the same thing as a hatchling. At 1100 g now and don't notice it as much or at all.

    Re: Pockmarks on my hatchlings neck

    My albino had weird mark/divet things when I first got her. They are long gone now.
    If nothing ever changed, there would be no butterflies.
