wierd looking scales

So I have a question about some scales on our biggest corn. He's had a few not so complete sheds, but this last one a few days ago was complete, but there's a few dozen scales spread sporadically all over him that look like they are wrinkled. So my question is what is wrong with these scales. They don't look like scale rot, I've looked at a lot of pictures of the rot and these look just wrinkled. Could anyone tell me what it might be. Ill try to get pics of the scales if needed.

Thanks for the assistance.
 
The easiest way (for me) to post pictures is to upload them to a picture hosting site first. I like photobucket, but there are a few different free sites. They generate codes you can use to post pictures to forums and other online sites.
 
I had something very similar with my corn and it was due to too low of humidity. Try soaking her/him in warm to the touch water about deep enough to cover her body. let her sit for 15 min. do this every other day and see if you notice an improvement in a couple days. if not it might be something else and you may want to see a vet.
 
We keep the tanks humidity where it should be. We don't like to see them shed in pieces.. I don't kno what else to do. The last time he had an incomplete shed we made sure to keep the humidity high last time and he shed fine, but he has these now. And we spray the tanks everyday atleast twice a day.
 
Fyi - if you soak the water shouldn't feel warm to you. If it does it is at least 98 or more degrees and that's to warm for a corn. Use a thermometer to get the water about 82-85, it will actually feel cool on your hands.
