    Old scars and strange marks?

    This is my Normal het pied girl that I bought from a local pet store. She's always had some odd markings on her. I'll probably never know for sure what caused them, but I'd like everyone's opinion.

    Little bit of white along her spine, maybe from rubbing against something?

    More white along her spine. I thought this might be a bite mark at first, but it's too far apart for mouse teeth (which she was fed there). So another rub mark?

    Not sure what this is. Maybe a minor imperfection in the scales from a past stuck shed? Doesn't seem to affect her much since she sheds perfectly now.

    A face shot of this lovely girl!

    After her photoshoot she slithered right back into her tub.


    A little background information: she was kept in a 6qt hatcling tub at the store (small store, the guy breeds his own animals) and she was fed live mice. I never saw any substrate in her tub, or water for that matter. I've been keeping her on paper towels with a water bowl and two hides.

    It could be just mars in her skin, or it could be the last bits of a wound or rub mark. Even serious wounds heals very well on ball pythons, eventually leaving no trace at all.
