Hi Guys,

I have a bit of a problem, im hoping its nothing. I noticed since the last shed, Romeo had about 4-5 individual scales on his head that looked 'dry'. Almost as though they hadnt come off with the last shed. Now I can see quite a bit of 'dry' skin on his head. I gently wiped it with a damp piece of kitchen roll and it just dulled the colour... Am I just getting paranoid and simply need to increase the humidity or is there something more serious?? I havent a pic to upload yet but I will try soon. I copied a link below to a pic on google that looks similar to my boys issue....

Thanks Chris. I have increased the humidity a bit in the tank and this seems to have helped. So glad its nothing serious or I would have had a 4 hour trip to the vets lol...
