    Scale Oddities

    I noticed today when handling n looking at George that he has some odd extra scales... Let me show you...

    Ain't that weird? lol It's not like I'm worried about them, they feel just like the rest of him not bumps or anything but was interested to know what causes this? As well does anyone else have a snake with such oddities? Pictures please! Just thought this was kinda neat.

    He could have had a scale that got cut, or a small case of scale rot that made his scales heal like that, maybe.

    Can't say I've ever seen anything like that on any of my snakes.
    Very interesting.
