shedding problem

[reptile_lover07]

My BP has a bunch of spots where there is 2 or 3 scales that havn't been shedded yet. They've been there for at least 2 months and he's shedded once since I noticed them. I've tried soaking him and they wont come off. How can I get them off?

could you take pictures of the spots?

How long are you soaking him for, and what are you doing to try to remove them after?

You can get a damp pillowcase or wash cloth and have your BP work it's way through there. If it's just a few indiviual scales, they will most likely come off with your BP's next shed. When you notice your BP going into blue, just up the humidity to around 60-65% and you should be fine

I'll try to get a picture. I soaked him for 30- 45 minutes and then rubbed my finger over the spots.

I thought they would just shed off but the next time he shedded there were more spots

Sounds like your humidity isn't high enough then..

Its not a very good picture because he didn't want to stop moving...

Ah, my female BP had those for a little while, but they went away after I upped the humidity a bit and a few sheds.

The humidity is usually at 60-62%

Should I raise the humidity?
