Odd Scale Bulge?
I recently recieved an adult female from an auction and on her arrival I noticed some oddly bulging scales. Anyone seen something like this?
For information, she is a super mojave hatched in 2020 and a bit overweight but her body shape definitely does not indicate obese, just muscley. Her box was far too small for her and she shifted herself to pin in one end and got stuck for a good deal of her transit (one minor wound). She has been eating frozen thawed for a long time so no chance of rat bites, she has bred in the past, she was kept on chips in the past. She is extremely alert and tame, she shows no signs of pain or discomfort in the area or in general. She does not have any of the discoloration I'd expect in scale rot and this bulging is isolated to just these few scales. She is roughly 5 feet long and roughly 3000g
We picked her up yesterday and she has had one shallow soak. Her breeder has been great in messaging with us but has also never seen anything like this.
