So today when I was holding my snake I notice that there is like a piece of skin that looks like it's ripping off at the top of the head and on his body it looks like a scale is coming off or something, and it's hard to take a picture cause he's always moving lol

Is the snake shedding? Have you seen them shed before?

 

[Mikesnakeares]

He already shed last week

Is it clear, like shed skin?

 

[Mikesnakeares]

No it's not

 

[Nanci]

Is there something in his viv that could have injured him? Can you take a clear picture of it? I guess, if it is a whole, real scale, I would snip it off so it doesn't tear further, and put antibiotic ointment on it if you have any.

 

[Mikesnakeares]

No it's like smaller then his scale

 

[Nanci]

What color is it? How long have you had him? Is it moving, like a parasite??

maybe it just from his last shed and you didn't notice it till now, it's happened to my corn a couple of sheds back. It will come off on his next shed.
