It looks very similar to a neonate that I had several years ago that was bitten by a clutchmate upon hatching. The bite mark was swollen and appeared very localized until a few weeks in. The skin bubbled lengthwise from halfway down almost to the vent. When he shed, the scales looked very similar to this and eventually he lost the scales completely and the scar tissue came back black.

Though the snake is still alive and well, esthetically it looks pretty rough. I will try to get some pics from the family it was donated to.

Thank you,
