Showgirl... flaky skin!

[Neilette]

My showgirl has gorgeous dark skin, but there are white scales/flakes on the exposed part of the neck. Is it dry skin? I'm new, so I don't know if this is normal or if there is something that can be done to prevent this. I appreciate any advice!

I automatically thought of mites. Have you checked her?

Is she molting? My girls get all scaly when they're molting.

She's GAWGEOUS- good luck!

(Huh. My 450th post- woot!)

Mine did that for awhile, but it cleared up. I think it's just because it's exposed to different climates.

That happens, that is normal, you can use either use vet rx or baby oil.
and very beautiful.

Thanks all.

I'll do a mite check just to be sure.
