After the last shed of my male Thomas I noticed white spots on different parts of his body, as if a scale is missing and the white is an empty space ??? What happened? I have never seen something like that on him before!
The shed started a little bad, the skin on te head came off in pieces (I sprayed his cage regularly the week before shedding though), so I put him in a box with moist sphagnum for a while. After that I let him crawl through my hands, and the skin came off very easily. Did Il do something wrong? Anyone any ideas?
On all pics you can see the white spots where the scales seem to be missing... there are two on his head...
Also, and he has had this for a while now, you can see on the third pic, he has a sort of dent (close by my hand), There is a dent on both sides (you see only one on the pic) and he looks like he got trapped between the glass doors of his cage... but I know that didn't happen! Nor are there things in his cage he could have gotten himself stuck in such a way. Just don't know what happened... :(
