    Iv had him for almost a year and he hasn't had anything like this until now. It just kind of appeared. It's on the top of his back and his heat has been fine so I'm not sure how he would get burned there. Another post I put up, a couple people said something about handling him in early shed doing this? Idk. They said it should fix itself with the next shed though so I'll just have to keep an eye on him and see. Thanks guys.

    I would have to agree, defiantly looks like a burn scar. I have never heard of handling a snake during a shed causing any probloms that would result in something looking like that.
