So, as he has been named Mr T, is doing so much better it is unbelievable!

Here is my previous thread:
http://www.tegutalk.com/showthread.php?tid=8755#axzz1Vs6bON4S

I have attached the pictures of what he looks like now at the bottom.

He had recently went through a shed, while his body and such shed fine I had to help him a lot with his head, mainly the top of it. I realized that there was layers and layers of retained shed, it looked like he hadn't shed properly there in at least a year. With some patience, TLC, olive oil, and tweezers I managed to get all of it off to reveal normal (ish) looking scales!!! They still look like there might be another layer or two.
Now I am waiting for the next shed because I am not sure if I got it all off or not so I figure I will see again, I just don't want to bother the poor guy anymore especially when he is at his best point yet.

On another note I am sure you have noticed the pink scars on the side of his head, not exactly sure what they are from but they don't seem to bother him and I don't know if I can do anything about them, so I will leave them as just a thing in the past for now.

I appreciate all your help and suggestions in the past!
