Weird white markings with age?

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...aafac48800.jpg not the easiest to see. But my ball python never used to have this white marking on her head. With every shed it seems to get whiter and whiter. She never used to have it as a baby. She’s going to be 4 years old this summer.

Could be a scar from a slight head rub? Their skin is lighter (pinkish/whitish) under their scales, so if the scales get rubbed off it may look white.
Need a super-close look though, to be sure.

No the scales and everything look completely normal, just it’s white now.

Guess he's just going prematurely 'grey' then? :rofl:
