i have noticed on bullets head there are like dried scales and almost what looks like remaining shed as bits of the scales keep coming off like bits of a shed, the thing is the last time he shed was weeks ago and it was a full shed and nothing was left. what could it be??? i will see if i can get pics but it might be to small

I once noticed that on my 08 corn girl's body the scales were a bit 'untidy' - sort of loose looking, as if they could flake off, and I wondered if she was a due to go into blue, and she did. So perhaps this is the same thing with Bullet? (Saffron shed well and has always been in good health, touch wood!)

Maybe it could be a good idea to give him a little more humidity? But I'm sure there will be someone more experienced along soon. All the best!

You may believe you had a full shed but its quite possible that there is the odd few bits left, it wont do any harm to give him a bath for 20 or so minutes.
