Pics of Chester where the Scale fell off!

Im really sorry if I shouldnt be making a new post, but I cant edit the title, and I figured people would look here if I said I had pics. Anyways, Here are the pics. In the pic with her face in it, you can see down on the right side of the loop where the scale came off. Also, I must have said in my recent post that it looked weird, but I didnt mean that. There was a left over piece of skin around the scale, and I tried to rub it off after getting it wet with a paper towel, and the whole scale came off. She's sitting on my shoulder right now, and doesnt show any bad effects. Here are the pics...

I really hope it does, Im worried about it. It doesnt seem to faze her at all though, so I think it will be ok.

I have a pair of Komorner Tumblers. I had another female, but a board on my aviary fell off and she flew away. I just bought them for fun, but I really love em now. They are really cool.
 
Spur once lost a half scale with a shed, it grew back fine, I haven't ever seen a whole scale gone. It'll re-grow a little bit with each shed if there's no underlying problem that causes it to continue dropping off.
 
thx. my snake had a small portion of a scale fall off and i was scarred. this white stuff looks pretty serious though
 
The white underneath is her skin. Or atleast I think it is. Her neck looks white when it stretches as she eats!

Yeah... the white is her skin. I'm pretty sure the scale will grow back. If not, I wouldn't think she would have any health problems because of it.

You might notice she's shedding more frequently.
 
I figured it was the skin. I hope she grows it back, but if not, it doesnt matter. If it doesnt cause her harm it doesnt matter anyways.

I read that in Kathy Love's book, so I figured that might happen. Thanks!
