I'm not sure what it is, but it almost looks like there is some granite thing going on.. However, mom doesn't appear anything special at all... I think the answer to your problem is simple though... you hatched a beautiful snake and it's a MALE!! That's great! Feed him and mom good and line breed next year. Sounds like a fun dinking project to me! Have fun and post more pictures as it grows - I really like the little guy!
Congrats,
Bristen.
