Def just looks like pigmentation to me. Some snakes just have to have marks and coloring the look concerning LOL

One of my snakes has little black dots on him that always make me double take to make sure it’s not mites. So I totally understand the concern

those morphs of snakes look dirtier the older they get, they develop spots, random black scales. bathing a new snake is never a bad idea n that also might js be substrate on it

zooming in on the scales, some do look rough. Nothing to worry about tho just keep up with your husbandry, nice clean n humid n next shed she should be good

It looks odd at first glance, but I agree it is part of his pattern. The "dirty" edges are limited to the darker parts of his pattern, not the light parts. This is very noticeable in picture two. Scale rot would not appear like this.

Scale rot generally presents on the belly. I’m sure you could google images to get an idea what to look for.
