Re: Ball python red circular wound. Pictures included
Hi,
That doesn't look like any scrape or physical injury I've seen (for the little thats worth ).
It is in patches all over the side of the snake ( in at least two patches definately ) not just in that ring area you mentioned.
It looks like a burn or infected sections of skin as the others have mentioned - it really does need to see a vet to be assessed properly.

No that is NOT what we are saying at all. You need to have it looked at by a vet ASAP.

But I use to put a wet towel over the screen to keep the humidity at 60 but little did I know that the screen underneath the towel was rusting away and actually created a hole. My brother found it coming through the screen hole and the day light bulb was cracked. As far as I know he just put the snake back in and covered up the hole until I came home and purchased a new screen and bulb.

No. You need to take the animal to the vet, or it could die from the injury, especially if it's become infected like it looks.
