hi all, ive noticed a tiny bit of dry looking skin on coco's head. ive checked the rest of her body over but i can't find any problems. no mites or anything. just wondering if anyone has any advice for this?

she last shed on 30th may. do you think she could be coming to shed again? hmm..

my amel stripe corn had a similar sounding patch on her neck, her previous shed was complete as i went back and checked it, but it was resolved at the next shed.
you could always try gently wiping the patch with a damp cloth, not too hard though or you could damage their scales
