Monster is about 2 1/2 .. hasn't really shed in a while and he is in brumation... however he likes to brumate for just a few days at a time.. anyways, after he ate today we had some shoulder riding and cuddling time.. I noticed he has a loose scale on his skin. I had rubbed it on accident - thats when I realized it was there.. it doesn't seem to be sensitive, but should I be concerned? Or what should I look for in the future if this may be a problem? Underneath the broken scale it is dark. I am going to work on remember my photobucket and post a photo up here soon
