I had this same thing occur with my Cal. Kings years ago when I fed them as much as they could eat...which was a TON by the way!



Over feeding may not be the case here...but I would suspect that the snake is growing extremely fast due to you feeding it a bit too often and/or pray size that is a bit too big...the scales are stretched out just a bit, which causes the scales to dent in.



I don't think it is a problem...but how often and how much do you feed the snake?
