Hello all! Been ages since I've posted on here, been lurking over the last week or two, good to see everyone around. Sir Blinky is doing great, I think he's almost reached max length at about 4 ft 3 and lately he's been working on filling out that long body and has been putting on (healthy) weight. He skipped another month or two for the ole spring time rat snake breeding season, as always, but has been eating/shedding perfectly other than that.
Now on to my small concern. Today I did his bimonthly viv tear down/clean out, and while I had him out I decided to take him outside into the beautiful post-storm, 71 degree weather to take a quick pic. While I was looking him over I saw a single scale on his neck that was discolored. I rubbed my finger over it and it was a tad rough, but barely noticeable against the surrounding scales. Here is a pic
Did that work? And is the pic big enough? I'm using the tapatalk app and I'm not sure if that worked, if there is a problem or it's too small tell me and I'll try and fix it. Also, sorry for the quality, it was taken on an ipad, I would take another closer one but I forgot I was gonna post this and fed him, so I don't want to bother him right now. I'm almost sure it's nothing and it will go away when he sheds again, which he's due for pretty soon. Tbh this is mostly a post just to say hello again to everyone, and to make sure this is nothing to worry about. Any questions at all feel free to ask. Taking pictures with him in my hands is almost impossible these days, so soon I plan on making a little safe area on the hill behind my house and setting him on the ground and taking some pics to update his progression thread.
Oh, yea and to head off any humidity questions (if there were going to be any lol) his viv stays between 35% and 55% humidity. Typically somewhere around 45ish.
