What is wrong with him?

EDIT for another question: What did the person who did the breeding say about the spots???

He has shed Judy. I would think that supports bacterial or fungal infection but I'm shooting off the hip.

Certainly makes it less likely to be a simple surface marking caused by discolored water or newsprint. But something more permeable (like a sharpie marker) could leave marks that may take several sheds to completely fade away. It doesn't look like any scale rot I've ever seen, but it could be some weird fungal issue.

The pictures are too small, and not nearly enough info has been given for us to do anything more than toss out random guesses. I just figured I'd throw out something I hadn't seen anyone else suggest. :P

I had no idea that a marker could do something like that. I guess you learn something new everyday :) Hopefully we can get some closer pics or someone with previous experience can comment.

Sharpie makes sense. I mark my baby beardies with sharpies and they do fade in a few sheds. So whom had a coloring day with your albino? Id still be p.o'd

The marks are on his back and sides but not on his belly. They don't have a kid and they said they didn't mark him with anything. The photos didn't come out very well. He is bedding is always paper towels (white no designs).

They look almost like blisters. :confused:
What the heck?

I am guessing but it really looks like some sort of irritation one (although the photo is hard to tell) look slightly raised? they do look like what I get when a black fly bites. A irritated little dot. It could be some sort of bacterial or fungal thing too I am simply guessing. Personally I'd be booking in with a vet about now.

Id say vet too...maybe something that affects snakes like ringworm does people?

Have you considered scale rot / dermatitis? I can't get any proper pictures (go figure), but from the little I've been able to try and find, it sounds like it might match. Has he been shedding more frequently or faster than usual recently? Anybody concur or have feedback?

On the back but not the belly? Odd. If it were fungus/bacteria wouldn't it be all over? Same with chemical irritation. I'm guessing markers or some kinda bite. I think the vet will be the only way to solve this one. Please keep us up to date on him. Wishing you luck!:(
