Don't let this cute pose fool you, she will eat your face off............LOL

Seriously, what ya think we got going on, on the left side of her head?

I thought it was just lighting but I took several pictures and its in all the pictures. Maybe from rubbing on her screen which she does do?

Yea, it looks like he was just rubbing on the screen. It may go away with the next shed. Nothing to worry about, though.

Looks like a piece of shed that did not come off.

could it possibly be a bleb or urine/urates, or musk if you were trying to handle her/pick her up? (the second picture) i agree the first picture will probably resolve with a shed.

LOL, thanks but menacing isn't the word I use, I actually call her "Mean and Nasty" .

Shes a handful for sure, she never sleeps which makes it hard to do routine maintenance on her house because as soon as I open her screen she either want to eat me or run out, and shes fast !

I gave my garbage disposal the fuzzies that my Spotty wouldn't eat today due to him getting ready to shed, When Domino came out to eat the leftovers I see this (below)

So now that I see Domino is getting ready to shed, I have looked at all the Care Sheets and it really does not address this....
Brooks Kings require a low humidity,

•Should I mist her now that shes blue?
•Should I place a humid hide in for her?

I use humid hides for all my snakes, even the "low humidity" ones

Brooks don't "require" low humidity. They handle low humidity well. You can mist his enclosure or provide a humid box.

They come from Florida so their natural habitat can get humid at times

I totally agree with everything that you offer, I thought the same, Florida, high humidity right? But caresheets all say keep them at low humidity.

Thanks !

Np, it's probably for sanitary reasons(bacterial/fungal growth...etc). But some breeders I know keep them on cypress mulch in tubs(high humidity) and they do fine.

I was born and raised in central Florida, and "at times" is a serious understatement! Lol
