    Just wondering

    My ball has had a skinny line on his belly since I first got him. He's a plain old normal and I love him for it. I never really thought anything about it until the the other day when my brother asked me if it was a scar, and I realized I had no idea what it was. I'll be honest here, I'm clueless as to the genetics and markings and all to at of snakes, I just know about loving them and proper husbandry. I was just curious if anyone could tell me anything about it?

    I'm going to say it's where the yolk sack was attatched in the egg.

    Agreed. Not usually that obvious though.

    He may have had some kind of hatching difficulty or mild infection that caused the scar to be more visible than average (total speculation on my part), but that's what it looks like to me.
