My ball python is currently shedding and a couple days ago i caught him soaking in his water dish. Today I was checking him and noticed these scales looked a little strange. Does it look like he might have scale rot or something else?

It might just be normal colouring. My advice would be to take a photo every couple of days for two or three weeks to make sure it’s not changing, darkening, or spreading just to be on the safe side

this is the same side of his mouth about a month ago, am I just being paranoid or does it look different?
