as some of you may know my snakes had bacterial dermatitis, its almost gone, but the places wher she had BD are shedding, one scale at a time, so if i damp a finger and rub gently i will get a few scales on my finger from the infected area, the scales underneath look fine, almost normal.

is this just the scale shedding the infected layer, or should i be worried about her?

any insite would be greatly appreciated
thanx

I can't offer any advice about bacterial dermatitis but I'd say keep her warm and humid and leave her alone. Generally the snake knows what is best for them...
