Are any of the scales tending to turn white in their entirety?
KJ
 
Thats the thing more and more of the scales that have started to turn white get whiter with each shed over the last 3 of em? none of them are all the way white yet though
 
If you're using plastic hides, and/or the plastic dog bowl that he can crawl under, remove them from the enclosure. My Hypo Bloodred had the same thing, and it ended up being an allergic reaction to the plastic and had cleared up after a few sheds...
