    Scabs?

    I noticed these abnormalities on my new girl. I believe she used to be fed live. Are these scabs? Or maybe old stuck shed.

    Looks like it could be bites from feeder rats. They should fade over time, but may never completely go away. I have a common that came to me with scars, you can't see them easily due to her pattern, but you can feel them.

    That's what I thought. Should I apply anything? Like veterinary antibacterial stuff?
    I mean the look old and healed so maybe it wouldn't matter

    At this point I wouldn't. I would keep an eye on those areas to make sure they shed cleanly though, and if by chance the wounds are still new enough that the scab gets pulled away and they bleed a bit after, you could put a spot of Neosporin or Triple antibiotic ointment without the painkiller on them.
