Hoping My New B-P Isn't Sick/Hurt Already

Hey everyone,

When I was hangin out w my buddy today, just getting him used to being handled, I noticed something. Now, I haven't had him for long so I may have just never noticed it before, but I think this could be new.

There is a faint line, about as faint in real life as it is in the photo, and it looks like maybe some discoloration below. I am a complete newbie when it comes to snakes and snake care, though. Any insights greatly appreciated. Right now he has Aspen bedding, tank avgs 85-90 throughout the day, have moss in tank and use zilla's tropical mist to help with humidity. If Im missing any info just ask, just hope my little guy is okay.

The line is probably just the umbilical scar.

My BP has it too, i always wondered what it could be... thanks :D

Agreed, thanks! Was worried he got a cut or somethin

Everyone is always surprised to hear that snakes have belly buttons too! ;)

The 'cut' is from the umbilicus. The discoloration on the lower area looks like really minor scale rot. It should clear up with the next shed.
