That would probably give everyone a better idea of what's going on.
Good luck!

I noticed something similiar like a browning to clear belly scales.He had been sitting in his urine for a few days or more and I believe that is what caused it.I cleaned with some hydrogen peroxide and treated him twice a day with polysporin.It starts looking better pretty fast and when he just shedd a few days ago it was all gone, thank god.I was worried but this worked also on the same snake when he had these weird bumps on his scales when I first recieved him.Now I make sure no one is sitting in anything under their hide boxes.Hope this helps.
