Purchased Brand New 3 MONTH OLD, is it sick and should I return it?

[ChynaAndMike]

Me and my boyfriend purchased a 3 month old ball python. He is missing a small patch of scales (about the size of a match head) from his head. Also I've noticed a few VERY tiny spots/bumps. At First i thought it could be rubbed off, but couldn't. He it's about to shed and ate the day before ibought him.also he has already popped.
I can't find any similar scenarios on the internet. If he is sick i would like to return him ASAP to avoid any potential conflict or disagreement. Can anyone PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Help??? It's been only 4 days and we have already grown attached. .

I agree pics would help.

Pictures would help. It sounds like it might just be some stuck shed. Make sure your humidity is high while your snake is shedding (around 70%) to make sure the snake sheds in one piece.

In the position that the pictures were taken it's on the bottom left corner of his snout.

Looks like stuck shed. Should go away with the next shed, assuming it is a complete shed. He is not sick

Looks like some old skin, after next shed should be gone, otherwise he looks good.

You guys are awesome! I'm just worried like a new mama with a brand new infant.lol.
Also, is it okay to hold my new ball Python while he's shedding? The boyfriend kind of won't stop holding him whenever he gets a chance. It's his first pet snake.lol
