Hi guys, Ive noticed Snoop has got a white mark on the top of his head, also 3 or 4 scales just behind his head on the neck have raised slightly, I was just wondering is it possible for scales to come lose now and again, he seems fine and is feeding but he spends most of his time by the glass sliding doors trying to get out. What should I use to block the air getting through by the doors, as I think this is giving him false hope of getting out and hes obsessed with the slight gap!!!!

I'd just block the the gap with some paper. It doesn't look that good, but it might put her off a bit.

Nagini does this on and off and when it gets really bad (so he damages himself) we usually put him a rub for a few weeks to remove the temptation.
