This is what a scar on a BP will look like (depending on the type of injury and where) This is my male, not sure what happened to him as he had this scar before me and the previous owner had him.



You can see the difference between this and the dry area on your snakes head.
I have a male with that same scar. He was like my 2nd ball python. At the time I kept them in tanks. I used cage carpet and he had got under the carpet and I guess from rubbing under the carpet. He got a raw spot on the top of his head just like that. Caught it in time and switched back to aspen. But it was bad enough to leave him with a scar. Hes my poss DBL Het VPI snow. So when I seen it I freaked out a bit.
