For allready 3 days my male BCI is scrubing his left side of head to terrarium floor and other places where he can scratch. I can see that he is iritated with it, he is doing it almost all the time but i dont know whats wrong. I check him for mites but nothing.
Did anyone had this kind a problem???

My only thought would be that he is going into shed? Hope others can add more.

He shed about week ago. At first i tought that part od old skin was still on the head but i couldnt see it, so its not that.

Try misting his cage and bring the humidity up.

I think that could be a problem when checking on hygrometer it was shoving around 52% so i did not touch it (i rearly mist on winter because humidity level is about 50 here without misting). When i started misting humidity level did not grow up and that is because it jams (broken)
When took one from frend it shows 30% so i mist it good and now is about 65%. Ill see results in day or two. Thanks.

That go to hear. Glad it was something simple like just raising humidity. If you can i try getting a Digital hygrometer. Mine tell temperature and humidity. I got them at a Wal-Mart for only $8.00 over here.
I been having a heck of a time keeping my humidity up with winter here. I have to mist my Yellow Anaconda and Borneo Short tail once a day and my BRB twice to keep it up over 70%.(to many air hole dry out faster) My Carpets once every other day to keep theirs around 50%.
You get a chance we love to see some pics. :)
