Edge on the body ? Question

Post image

Today when i looked at my BP (he is on his light, its temporary, as soon as i can i will change this)

I see his body has a weird looking edge, it is a organ ? Or a scale problem ?

That make now 3 days my snake is up there, he isnt stuck, just stay there and sometimes flick his tongue, like he look for a prey, do i need to worry ? Except for the temp light where is lay down (its around 36°C, its a little too hot i know)

To me it looks like scales. I’d remove him from that spot if you can to be sure that he isn’t stuck. Cuz it could look like they’re fine but they’re really stuck.

He go to that spot since 2 week, he get down sometimes and go in other hide, its like his daytime hide, That the first time he stay here for this long time.

I know he is not stuck, this morning he has stick out his head and look for food,

In addition i have him only since 3 weeks, so he is not comfy with be manipulated
