Hi Fred, I have seen this "syndrome" in Lampropeltis, especially L.zonata and L.g. floridana, L.g.holbrooki. I am not confusing it with "blister disease". Sometimes the ventrals are wrinkled as well. I theorize something is wrong and the snake is trying to "cure" itself. I saw it shortly after they emerged from brumation, and I assumed they had a difficutl shedding and perhaps should not have been brumated or should have been cooler. I do not know what if/any the husbandry problem might be, I have only seen it a couple times in over 40 years of husbandry. What say the brethrin'? Vic
