    It looks like a healing scrape.

    It will get better when they shed.

    Is there a gap at the top of the tub? I've had snakes (young snakes, very active snakes, males in breeding mode) try to stick their noses into the space if they think they can worm through, scuffing their snout exactly like that. More hides or rearranging current hides along with adjusting any possible spacing might help.
