    Mark on head?
    My ball python has some scales on her head that look sorta like stuck shed, but her last shed was complete.

    Normally Her humidity stays at around 60℅ to 70% but when shes in shed I bump it up to 70% - 80%

    Her temps are 85-89F on the warm side and 78-80F on the cool side.

    Sometimes during the night she'll climb to the top of her enclosure and try to escape, could it be rub marks? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...cb37046442.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...bac5a11a4f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...0b12ddc86e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...22a9ef64d4.jpg

    It could very well be rub marks. A few sheds should clear that all up.

    Is there anything I could do?
    I don't want her to hurt herself.

    When my bp was rubbing, that's the spot where he kept injuring himself. I wouldn't worry about it unless it keeps happening. Any snake will try to escape from it's enclosure. I don't care how nice it is. If she keeps doing it, then you'll have to consider making changes to her set up.

    My Fonzie injured himself repeatedly. He would rub until he got a nice lump. Then, he'd stop until the swelling went down, and then, he'd go right back to rubbing again. He was in a tub, so I build him a much larger vivarium. He never stopped trying to escape, but he did stop injuring himself.
