    anything to concern about
    well my young ball lily, 1 3/4 feet long, is a wonderful girl!

    but ive noticed 2 small white spots that are a little bit raised, like rough scales (almost like a little bit of shed left over (VERY small amount like a pinpoint size almost)

    anythin to worry about? should i post pictures or did i describe it well enough

    A clear picture would help. But, go into more detail in the meantime. Do you feed live perchance? And where are these small raised white spots located?

    i hope its not a tick..

    recently, ive seen several threads of ticks buried in the scales of the pythons.. they look slightly larger than regular scales, and they're discolored too

    definately get a clear pic

    Looks like either a missing scale or stuck shed or the new layer of skin is missing.

    It shold go away with the next shed.
