Just another angle on this; I had a Darwin once with very, very similar marks on it! I initially thought it was from a bad burn, but it seemed to get worse each day.

The snake was air freighted, regrettably, to me in the middle of slough and we put it down to an extreme case of retained shed. Has the snake had a bad slough recently??

Unfortunately I can’t tell you the end result with much accuracy as I sent the snake back being that I had paid for a female, but ended up finding I’d been sold another male (Had it been a female naturally I would have persisted at my end with getting it right) According to the original owner he upped the humidity and proceeded to feed the snake up to get it to the next shed. Supposedly you can’t tell it ever had a mark on it now. (That might sound odd, but that’s what I was told)

All the best.
