Possibly Injured during shed

[ObviouslyDexter]

Hello!

My new ball python (age 3) has just finished his first shed while in my care and I noticed a new, what I believe to be an injury. I can't seem to figure out what this is. His shed came off with 0 difficulties, I found it in his hide beside him. I just noticed this little area that appears to have 0 scales over it. It's not red, doesn't appear to bother him much if I poke/prod around it. The rest of him looks beautiful after his shed. Perfect white belly, black eyes, wiggling his tongue, exploring when I had him out, etc. I've only had this guy a few weeks, so it's POSSIBLE it was there before the shed. I'm just worried that if it IS an injury, if the eco earth will cause a problem (infection).

Temps: 91 F under on the hot side, ~ 80 on the cool side, heat lamp above to keep ambient temps ~80
Humidity: Been doing my darndest to keep it ~ 80 while he was shedding, otherwise 50-60%
Housing: 20G long aquarium
Substrate Eco Earth

The site does not look red, there was no blood at any point. There is just a small area with grey skin and what looks like no scales over that spot.

It could be the site of an old injury?

It doesn't look to be anything serious though so I would just monitor it and see how it changes with future sheds.

Yes, I agree that it looks very minor. Remember bps do have a pretty good immune system so long as their environment is at or close to where it should be. Temperatures, humidity, hiding availability. Just keep an eye on it and make sure it doesn't worsen. Stay in peace and not pieces. A.C.
