If its the same thing I'm thinking of, what reptileboss is talking about aren't scars, indentions or puffiness, its an irregular lay of scales (sort of roughed up) which are almost perfectly straight in line, on the sides, from belly to just below the top of the back. I saw a large (12 - 14 ft) albino burmese at the Atlanta show last weekend with the same thing. This snake was healthy looking other than the lines.



Unfortunately, I don't know for sure what causes it. Maybe the above description will give a better visual.
