I've never seen that before. I hope someone who has will chime in, but it may be a beggining stage of scale rot ( i hope not). In that case all the baths that he likes so much might be causing it. Or maybe just take a look through out the cage for mold or anything like that . Then just take a look at your husbandry all together. But for sure if it gets worse i would see a vet. Actually you might want to take him to the vet anyway. Get him a stool sample check. Anyway i hope this helps....Originally Posted by Gooseman
Mmmk, so I have another question. Nyla (her new name) is in the first stages of shedding, and just like last time her underbody scales seem pretty beaten up. Last time it was curred when she shed, and I have no doubts that it will happen again when she sheds in the coming days. My question however is, is this normal? my old kings never did this, and I havn't found any literature on the matter. Humidity stays a constant 55%, there's about 2inches of aspen bedding on top of the UTH. She likes to take baths so I doubt it's dehydration. Is this something I should be too concerned with?
The scales just look and feel all ragged, dry, and just in general bad shape. Sorry the pic isn't as clear as I wanted it to be.
