My male ball python, Reshmar, has what kind of looks like burn marks on top of his back. Only on the ridge of his back, and nowhere else on his body. I don't think it is burn marks, because there is nowhere in the cage for that to happen to him. My other snake doesn't have this kind of problem at all.
He doesn't act like it is painful when I touch it, but I really don't think it is healthy...so I want to find a way to fix it. Anyone have any idea what this could be? Will I need a Vet visit for sure, or could it be blister disease, and I should just clean my tank really well for him?
Before people ask, the temperature gradient is good, it is a 4 foot cage, and he is probably about a year old now. Maybe a little less.
EDIT: I should add, there is no way the problem could be caused by a rodent gnawing on him. I watch him when I feed him live mice to make sure they don't chew on him.
EDIT 2: Scale rot? Oh man...
