Missing scales on top

[paolo]

Hi guys,

just wondering if any of you have had this experience. I recently visited a friend of mine and he owns a columbian boa. While I was holding his boa, i noticed some scales on top of the body missing here and there, like as if someone used a tweezer and picked them off. The area where it's missing is white/grey'ish colour.

Is it scale rotting, or what? i asked him about it, and doesn't know what it is either.



Any info would help.


Thanks,

paolo
