Default Jimmy Choo Python Care

I recently purchased the Jimmy Choo Ivory python Alex. I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to prevent the scaes from peeling. Are there any recommendations about the care of the handbag?

Thanks

Condition the scales regularly. The scales curl up or peel at the end when they dry out.

I use DYO. Any leather shop/cobbler should have some sort of conditioner for exotics. I will not use apple products on my exotics, but use DYO and then spray with Vectra for water-proofing.
