I can't remember who said that their king had been rubbing and damaged itself, but I know I said that Nagini was rubbed herself so badly she lost a complete scale off the top of her head and it grew back.

well..... looking through some old photos to find some good ones for the site- I've found a picture of her injury when she did it..



As you can see it was quite bad. Probably took a good 6-8 months to heal completely, but it did. Just shows how good their regenerative powers are

Not really- more like a mucky mark on the actual shed. She didn't shed well at the time though so it must have effected her ability to shed.

poor nagini,when she shed did it leave a hole in the shed where the scale was missing?

Snakes just keep on impressing me, I visited a good reptile shop todayand the guy who owned it let me hold his juvenile albino burm quality looking snake with a great temprement, asked if I could buy it and was told in no uncertain terms no by the other half lol oh well one day

not a king or milk but Marilyn had a small lump on her nose when i bought her and it came off the next shed, taking the scale off with it. 4 months later it's barely noticeable and seems to improve every shed.

Just a beigey pink looking skin. I obviously didn't touch it because it looked really tender but the vet said it was healing fine and healthy.
