papercut??

[Super_Smash]

When i had Apollo out tonight, i noticed he has a sort of cut on him. his scales are sliced in half, and it looks like he got a papercut or something. is it possible for snakes to get a papercut from newspaper?? it didnt look like there was blood anywhere, and it doesnt seem to bother him. could this be something to worry about?



i couldnt get a better shot.. its hard trying to snap a shot of a specific part of a snakes belly.

Cupid had those, but his were horizontal. i was told it might be a burn.

it's definately not a burn. his scales are actually cut, and its not red or anything.

Ive seen them on roxy, its on a few of her scales.

Are you sure that's not his "umbilical cord" section?

Could it be some kind of belly button ? ive heard something about snakes belly buttons ????

haha...Shlyne, you're right. Pandora's isnt as noticable though. maybe it's because Apollo is still a baby?? i feel like an idiot. i was all worried he cut him self. :?
