I have taken Tiko out to feed this evening and noticed he has a grey "dusty" looking line about 2" long on his back. On closer inspection they look like dusty and grey, not rotten just not healthy. He is due a shed soon as usually goes 6-7 weeks between times but its now been 8 weeks and he hasnt (noticeably) gone into blue. I examined him a bit and gave them a little rub incase they were dirty/dust but they dont budge. I have taken a few pics which dont show the problem as well as I would have hoped but let me know what you think. Also I went to feed him after as usual but he did not eat - however, I think this is as he had been prodded etc prior to this. He has never had shed problems but I have added a moss box in his house, he is currently in it (I have tried one before but he had never been interesed). Any advise would be appreciated. Thank you.

and that is why i love this forum, snake wiped with damp kitchen towel and most of it seems to have come off, still bits under the scale edges but I assume these will come off with shed. thanks so much Mike - saved me a night of worry. Will check him again tomorrow just to make sure its all gone still. |

Have you tried to wipe clean with a damp cloth?? if you fed it recently then it could be dried 'fluids' from the food.
Looks to me like dried something, i reckon that will wipe off. |
