Are the affected spots soft? Do they stink? It's a little hard to tell from the pictures, and i'm not the expert on shell rot having never seen it firsthand. Have you read the info on the main site? There's lots of good stuff there.

Ahh i see. Sounds like normal shedding to me. Keep an eye on it to be sure, but i think your little guy is just fine.

It looks like scutes that will be coming off to me.
