you're correct..I'd say damaged scales......maybe from wood mulch or mouse/rat bite?.........just make sure ball isn't too wet and it won't be rot......it looks ok...just one scale ......

GOOD Pics..........

Looks like a rodent bite(s) to me. Like jyohe said, could be damage from the cage, but to me it looks more like a rodent. Double check the cage just in case. Your snake should be fine

I think it is the beginning of scale rot. It usually comes from the animal's enclosure being too moist or not cleaned well. Make sure the enclosure is dry & clean. I would remove water for a few days and put a little antibiotic cream on that spot. Apply the antibiotic cream daily. It should clear up soon.
