I have some terrible timing, let me tell you. Go into a local family-run pet store to pick up a few things, and I overhear "Free ball python" and "he needs a home or he's going in the freezer". Yikes.

Mystery ball python was dropped off several months ago. He looked fine, but recently developed these weird bumps. Still eats fine, according to the people at the shop.

They did have a mite outbreak in the past 3 weeks, I'm not sure what they used to treat it but they did use a spray on the reptiles. (not sure if that is useful info.)

Vet isn't open until Sunday, so I hope someone has an idea what this is. It doesn't look like the pictures google showed me about scale rot, but I've never seen anything like this. Ideas?

(the link on the bottom goes to large pictures. There is no redness on his belly or around the raised scales. I've treated his new home with PAM and am being very careful about washing hands/not contaminating any of the other snakes in my care.)
