Was handling and checking Loki last night and he has some damaged scales down his sides. He has some on his other side in a similar spot also. Sorry for the rubbish pic, I only have my camara phone until the mrs gets home later.

Is it just scale damage or something worse?



He has also just begun his shed cycle today also.

May have just scratched them on someting, when they go into shed any damage/scaring looks 10x worse so will probably look fine once he has shed

He is probably going into shed to help repair the damaged scales so should look better soon

I don't see much but a few folded back scales, probably reversed and caught a few doing so.
