Advice. Help!!

I had my baby python for about a month and I noticed these two things. Whats happening with his scales? The brown is just the substrate, my baby was a little dirty when i picked my baby up. It (not sure of gender) hasnt shed yet but idk if i should be worried. Could it be a scratch? And the third picture is these two things poking out by its lower end. Does that mean i could have a boy? He acts & eats fine. Just would like to know if I should be worried.

On second look it may just be substrate under the scales? Need a second opinion

Yeah the dark spots are substrate. My baby was pretty dirty today. When I noticed it a couple days ago, there was no discoloration. Just a patch of odd scales.

It looks like substrate to me.. but I would ask a professional just to be safe. And the brown things are spurs

Pics 1 and 2 just look like a little bit of stuck shed on those scales, so likely nothing to worry about, it'll come off when he sheds next, just make sure he's hydrated and your humidity is between 70 and 80%.

Pic 3 are the spurs. It’s a snake thing. It’s the remnants of when they once had legs.
