I got my first ever ball python on July 5th. I had done extensive research and thought I was prepared, but I find that I am constantly worrying over him. My most recent concern has been some white scales. It almost seems as if the color has come off. Is this due to his environment being too dry?

I had him in a plastic tub before but just moved him to a glass tank because I wanted to be able to see him more plus it is more aesthetically pleasing. Before moving him to the tank, I had not noticed any issues with his scales.

Any advice would be much appreciated. He also has not shed yet, and it has been over a month. I am freaking out. I have never loved a small animal more than this snake and want to do right by him. I will post photos if I can figure out how.
