    White scale on head?

    Hi everyone,

    I noticed that during her shed, my pastel female had a discolored scale or two on her head, near her nose. Here's a pic pre-shed, you can kinda see it:


    But then after she shed, it turned out to be a completely white scale and some white around it. Tried to get the best picture I could:




    Has this happened to anyone before? I think it's pretty odd that it just popped up in one shed.

    If it's just a normal shed, relax. Her colors may be changing on its own.

    My spider once ended up with a stripe down her back that lost all pigment during a shed. She otherwise had a perfect shed that time. It was like three inches long and one scale wide in the middle of her back. It's slowly recoloring. I don't know...

    Even if it doesn't change back to 'normal', it's sure cute!
