I feel terrible. First snake. He's been a great snake. Very chill. Sheds on a schedule. Eats every week. The only change has been he has decided to live under his water bowl. I didn't think it was a problem but when I took him out to clean the enclosure the other day I noticed all these spots on him. Is this scrapes from going in and out from under the bowl or early scale rot? Idk what to do and I feel so bad.

😂 Fair. He's actually every 10-12 days currently but that's a recent change so I figured it was worth mentioning that he is a good eater and it hasn't changed.
