Anyone know what this is on my BEL's belly?

What is this? It has been there for quite a long time and has never gotten worse, and it is the only part on his entire body that looks 'off'. Scale rot? Scuffed himself on the corner of his plastic hide? What is it?

looks like the scale got pulled up somehow. has the snake shed recently, and did this stay even after shed?

No mate, he's IN shed right now, and is due to shed in a few days. But yes you seem to be right, that particular scale did get lifted up a couple of months ago. He hasn't shed since the very end of January 2018, because he went off-feed for over 4 months! Though, I got him back on food, he's eaten 3 times in a row now and he almost immediately went into shed. So, he'll be shedding very soon! Tomorrow or Thursday I reckon! That appeared AFTER January 2018... maybe sometime in March? Probably the latter end.

Good news, he shed his skin and that weird blemish is gone! Scale is back to normal.
