My youngest son and I 2 baby ball pythons, one male and one female. Today, my son and I noticed that the male has sort of a flattened area (top to bottom) on the rear 1/2 to 1/3 of his body, it's an area about 3 inches long. This is the first we have noticed it. Nothing unusual has happened to him, he ate this evening with no problems. He is eating small adult mice. Nothing has happened to him, i.e. squezzed, dropped, stepped on. Cage is kept at 80-82 on cool end with warm end 90-94. He has a hide, and we keep fresh water in bowl at all times. Anyone seen anything like this?
