What is this???? (Pics Included)

Could be bad shed.. or mite bites..

My guess was she had a piece of stuck shed come off there. But it's hard to know for sure from just the picture. How long have you had her?

or mite bites..

Mite bites???

I've never seen a Mite bite without a mite being there.. and when they leave, there is no substantial visual anything left there.

Can you explain that to me? Maybe I'm not being as vigilant and am missing something?


To the OP, looks like scales are missing. No big deal

i would say missing scales from the last shed

Hard to tell from the pick. Ive seen mites get under the scale, bite and the bites get infected. The swelling causes the scale to lift off the body and it looses color.. Its a far cry.. It was just my 2 cents

My BP has a a line of white pigments almost like a collar.

I don't know if it still has it. I posted pics too, I think it was said that it as a bad shed.

Never seen that before... Interesting.

In that pic it looks like the snake is about to shed, Im not sure if its just the way the pic looks, but I would wait until after it sheds and see if those white scales are still there.
