Hey everyone,

I have a baby hermanns and I am curious if this is normal for the side of his nose to be I guess peeling or flaking or whatever it is doing. I took some photos with arrows pointed to the affected spot. Please let me know. Thank you.

Not normal looking to me. Looks more like the scales are missing.
See what others say.

They do shed their skin in small pieces usually unnoticeable. But not their scales.
