small bumps/scars on ball

[Selecta]

I went to see a friend with a newly purchased ball python today. When I looked at him I noticed 20 or so small bumps/scars on him. He's only about 2 months old I would say. I don't think they were ticks becasue I couldn't see any. Could they be whats left of in improperly removed tick? Any other ideas what it could be?

thanks

Is the BP a WC if so they couldbe scar's from the wild. I have a 5 foot female who has tons of scar's.

I think it's CB, I'm in London, Ont as well. He bought it from a pet store here. I'm not to familiar with the pet stores around here, do they get any WC hatchlings?

I think the better question would be, do pet stores get anything BUT WC hatchlings?

Can you elaborate upon what you mean by bumps?

Loads of CH hatchlings On occassion you will get a rare CBB ball (we had a few males Mark Mandic produced at work). That was the only time though I had ever seen a CBB ball in a store...lol.....but CH are jsut as common as WC I would say. Not quite as bad as WC, but sometimes not quite as good as CBB either.
