Default Whats happend?

hey guys and gals. got a corn snake hatchling with a slight problem. i say slight as he is still acting normal and ate fine 3 days ago, but i noticed this when handling him earlier.

basically it looks like he's shed his pattern and part of his scales to reveal his smooth skin. thats as best as i can explain it.

i've checked his rub for anything sharp or any sign of blood, bad shed or torn scales and nothing. Anyone have any idea?

Are you using a heat mat? If so is it connected to a thermostat? It could be a burn .

looks like something you would have noticed if it was like it when you bought him...i cant think of anything else other than if it got caught somewhere and has torn its scales away in an attempt to get itself free.
