Rough belly scales

[whereisalice]

My snow corn's scales are rough where the sides meet the belly scales. I thought it might be a humidity issue, but her last shed was perfect, even though she had the rough scales. My daughter thinks it might be due to the tree branch we have in her cage. It doesn't seem to bother the snake. Any thoughts on this?

It's possible that she's scraping the scales on the wood, but the scales are sometimes rough there anyway. My other snakes feel rough where the ventral scales meet the sides. They are two different scale types so I think that's pretty normal.
