I have recently just purchased an CB '08 male Albino Burmese (currently approximately 3' in length) about a month ago, and would like to please request some advice as to whether or not he needs to be examined by a veterinarian for treatment etc. or not...

I've noticed that, located around the upper parts of his body, he seems to have a few scales that tend to noticeably stick out, and he seems to have what appears to be fine vertical lines also along these parts, where these scales seem to project themselves outwards. The rest of his body, however, appears to be in fine condition, and the rest of his scales are soft, smooth and well hydrated (as seen in picture 3). I was wondering if this is permanent damage/scarring , or if this is a condition which can possibly be altered and treated?

He has shed successfully, in one whole piece (eye caps included) since I have received him, and is eating well, but I did notice these protruding scales before the shedding process, and cannot notice any changes in their appearance after either...

Here are some photographs, if it will help to see some visual evidence...

Many thanks for reading! Any input or information will be greatly appreciated!
