    What do these raised stamps mean? Please Help
    hi, this is my first feeding experience. It's been around 10 days since I got my BP , it was around 40-50cm, 80 grams when I took it.

    When I first took it in my hand, I felt that 1-2 of the scales bothered my fingers and felt rough and hard, but since it came from a journey, I didn't worry too much. Afterwards, these scales started to increase every day. Meanwhile, my snake ate 3 hopper-sized mice very greedily. I don't see any loss of appetite or symptoms that bother him. After searching for a long time, I couldn't find anything on the internet. Could you please help?

    I'd have to guess he's got some kind of skin infection causing those little "blisters" & I'd take him to an experienced herp vet to get it treated, especially since it's spreading so fast.

    It's possible (or likely ;)) that he was kept in a dirty enclosure prior to sale, & the stress of shipping to you lowered his immune system's function, causing this infection to show up & take hold. Give him optimal care (temps. etc) so he can recover.

    I agree on needing a vet

    I've seen something similar before and the blisters had only gotten larger and had caused more damage to the skin.
    I don't know what the cause is, but I would keep them on clean paper towels in the meantime to avoid any extra possible contamination
