Flaky Scales
I have two cornsnakes, both male, I'm moving them up to larger setups soon. Recently I noticed their scales have been flaking, not falling off, they are Smooth to the touch besides one little scale of my white corn that is a little dry. But the flaky scales dont ever fall off by just touching them, its almost like they snag them and they kinda just get damaged. The heat is normal, 75 cool side, 80 ambient and 85 to hot side. Humidity is a little high, it's about 60% today. They both recently shed, my white corn had a bad or lazy shed and I soaked him and helped get all the left over shed off. My orange corn shed fine no problems besides a little bit stuck on the tip of his tail which I got off.
Like I said, their scales aren't falling off, they just seem flaked and a little damaged. No weird dark coloration or anything, no mites, they are completely clean, I did give my white corn a bath when some kids paint got on him but I washed him well and checked if it was nontoxic.
I'm just not really sure what would be wrong, they are both lively, they eat, drink, burrow, and bask normally. My mother thinks I'm just worrying over nothing but I care about these guys. Any little thing that is out of the ordinary I'd rather check than let it get worse.
