    the pics are a little blurry so it's hard to tell. did the snake shed recently? almost looks like skin left over from a shed.

    I'm not entirely sure if the snake shed because the day I noticed the spots is the day I got him.

    would it be possible to get a better close-up pic? when you touch it what does it feel like? any redness around the affected area? and where did you get the snake from?

    sorry for the lot of questions, just trying to help! :)

    Can you contact who you got him from?

    Find out about the shed. Also ask if they had also seen the spots.

    Some better pics would help too.

    I would contact them. I'm not sure how much help they will be, but it's worth a shot. I believe they will take care of any medical bills, but you may have to use their vet.

    what does it feel like when you touch it?? can you see scales beneath whatever that spot is? it kind of looks like a patch of stuck skin from the last shed. you could try taking a damp washcloth and wetting the area, then gently trying to rub it off.

    It feels kinda like dry skin on a person's foot and yes you can see the scales underneath I tried wiping it off with a damp cloth it softened quite a bit it didn't all completely come off but some did I didn't wipe it too hard because I didn't wanna hurt him!

    you won't hurt him. :)
    i'd get in contact with the pet store and ask when the last shed was just so you know, then i'd just keep an eye on the area. after next shed it should be gone.

    To me it looks like scales that are regrowing from a scratch or puncture wounds.

    Help please ? Red spots but no mites
    she's albino and usually has marks on her scales from falling around the tank but has been fine recently. There's now bruising like red marks on the scales and I'm not sure what it is and I haven't seen any mites but I'm worried

    Also is there a way I can upload pictures from an iPhone on here ?
