You guys have got some great pics!
All I've got is this worm snake. After it chewed a hole in my arm and killed my dog, it disappeared back into the leaf litter. 😃
I'd bet those lifted scales are from mites. Had I noticed them when I was handling it I would have coated him in a little mineral oil before letting him go.

And then there was Fluffy. I finally had to re-home her to a breeder. She simply would NOT calm down. That snake put more holes in me than all other snakes combined. I've never seen a captive bred snake as crazy as her. Once she reached around 5 feet long she could hit me in the face when I handled her. It was time for her to go. She is a couple of years old and maybe 3 feet long here.
