the snake is on cypress bedding, purchased at petsmart, i have been using the same brand the whole 9 months i have had him, i change it out every 2 weeks.
i see no signs of skin irritation.
the weather here is beginning to warm up and the snake has moved to a bit larger prey....... thats the only difference i can find.

Just a growth spurt - fairly normal - unless you see something incredibly wrong with him like a burn or scale rot (I know, I know, but I have to mention it) nothing to worry about!
