skin3.jpgskin2.jpgskin1.jpgJust this morning my 2yr old Bredli shed, and on closer inspection of him I noticed a large patch of skin that is faded. I have a jungle that did the same thing but I didn't think to much of it till now. He has a heat pad not a basking lamp so it can't be a burn. It isn't dry or scabby just faded. Any idea's, can't be anything contageious can it?
 
I had the same think happen to my coastal a few months ago, took him to the vet who said i needed to raise the humidity and give him a course of antibiotics but they could tell me what it was or what caused it.

I was very skeptical (his humidity was fine so i ignored them on that) so when he was due for his follow up I took him to a different vet who said it would come good in a few sheds. He couldn't tell me what was wrong either and said I was right to ignore the bad advice from vet 1 to up the humidity.

He has shed once since then and you can barely notice it.

No idea if any of that will help :)
 
Well hopefully it nothing to worry about and will disappear next shed. Any other thoughts?
 
OK now im worried, my BHP just shed got 3 or 4 compleatly white patches ranging from a few scales to a 10 or more. It's not dry wet or sore to touch just the scales have completly lost their colour, looks terrirble. Got to be some thing contagues. Any ideas?
