My 2 yo ball python just finished shedding a few days ago and I noticed some pure white scales behind his head and along his neck. This is the first time I have seen this snake shed and he did not have these scales beforehand. I have had my other python for over year and I have never seen this before. Is it possible that this is the beginning of an illness or do they sometimes get these colorless scales after shedding?
Thanks in advace!

My 7 month old ball had that before. It went away with the next shed, but I don't know what caused it.
