i have four bloods, two of which are juveniles. I keep the hummidity around 60 - 70 %. The temps range from 78 degrees to 92 degrees. But something is up with my little guys.

The scales on their heads look like they are turning up, and of course they have dimples on their scales. Any help is apreciated.

You could have retained shed skin that is now peeling up. I have noticed with incomplete sheds the head and back stay on unless carefully removed. Allow for a humidty box in their cage and soak them periodically to help resolve this.

Hey,
How sure are you that the humidity is actually 62-70%, as you say. It could be that your humidity gauge is not working properly, and the humidity could actually be lower than you think, and that is causing the dry flaky-scale appearance, around the cranium. High temps, low humidity, I've seen it with a couple of my little guys. Check your gauge!
