I only read about half this thread. I want to say that looking at the pictures my first thought was "scars" and still feel that way. I use to work at a pet store and say many sickly snakes (i realize you guys are around snakes all the time to, but not necessarily sick/scarred snakes like i have been). Well, its very charisteristic of a healed/healing burn/scar.

I also wanted to note that a vet could look at a single boa and classify it as pied. Pied, by definition, is not necesarrily genetic but simply the presence of the white scales. If any snake has abnormal white scales from birth, they are pied scales wether or not it is genetic.

Oh, and dont buy this sickly looking scarred snake. peace.
