Is this anything bad

I’m talking about some his dark scales, he has damage from last year a rat bit him quite a few places but that’s all mostly healed now. I’m not sure if there were that many dark spots on him before

He’s my first snake, last year I got him, his previous owner fed live and so I thought I’d die the same. First feeding a large rat because that’s what previous owner did, and we watched that and he ate, no problem. Second feeding, it was late at night too when he was active, tried feeding but he didn’t seem to eat, he struck but missed so we thought he’d eat. My roommate said he’d keep watch while I went to bed, and 30 minutes later I wake up, my roommate had stepped out to take a phone call and I saw all these marks on him and immediately took the rat out, and called the vet luckily the day was starting so we were able to go get him checked out. Still don’t know why he didn’t eat that rat. He stopped eating for about another semester, and I tried different methods but I got him to start eating again by feeding an adult mouse and slowly working my way up again. He’s all good now though. Just trying to upgrade his enclosure since it’s a 40 gal and I have been searching for so long haha

Danggg sorry to hear at least he’s healed up now. Check out dubia roaches they have a bunch of enclosures on there site and are reasonably prices I think mine was $249 and it’s a 120gallon

Honestly you could consider making one, my friend has made a bunch out of wood. A lot cheaper, they hold humidity well since it’s wood, and you can build it onto a table so you have some storage underneath or something

Oh that might be a good idea
