She's a paatel ivory. I've only had her for 3 weeks and she came like this.
The darker spots feel rough to the touch. Is it stuck shed? Scar tissue? Scale rot? Or just her pattern? I've never seen other ivory BPs with those kind of marks.

Note that the black specks on her are just residue from the coconut husk she's on. And she's slightly pink due to shed.

Awesome to hear! She should shed next week and I have had her in 80% humidity all week so I'm hoping for the best.

Yep That should do it. Keep the humidity up and all should be fine. After the shed lets see some more pics of that beauty!
Re: What is this on my snake?
To be honest I'm no pro with any snakes but I've done plenty of research and you don't need to actually keep the humidity as high as most people think. Most people say 50-60 or 60-70 but honestly 40-50 works fine, but while shedding make sure to mist them and their cages down (AT LEAST) once a day

In my experience that's not true. I've had nothing but bad sheds at anything below 50% while I had a glass tank.. now that I've upgraded everyone to a rack with 70% humidity my sheds are perfect.

Also an update, she shed last night and all the funky stuff came off! Perfect white snake now.

Good to hear. I have seen that problem on many "new" snakes. First shed when I get them is often bad. After that no problems and my white snakes are actually white (except when they decide to paint with poop).
