Weird scale

Hey I just have a quick question. My snake has this one random odd looking scale on his back. There are no other just his one. Do snake sometimes have odd shaped scales or should I be worried. It's been like that for a month maybe and I even tried rubbing it off with a wet rag thinking it was a piece of scale left behind from her last shed.

Should I be worried or what?
 
I'm willing to bet that it is normal. If it was on her nose, it could be nose rub, but since it is on her back it's probably normal or a little stock on shed.

Do you have a pic of it?

I could get one but it might be hard to see since ints only one scale but I'll try and get one
 
One of mine had some funky scale stuff going on... it turned out the be just a scratch that healed a bit with each shed.

And here is a part where a scale actually came off:

I didn't do anything, really, to help him heal. I just kept him warm and clean.
 
Ok I cant get a picture, gets very blurry and he is still small so the picture thing isnt working. The 2nd picture is pretty much as clase as it gets to being like Ichiros, but Ichiros is not as bad.

Then I wouldn't worry about it. :)
 
oh and forget to say that it looks like the 2nd picture at the tip of the scale, not the whole scale and in the middle of the scale it knda dips down... I wish I could get a picture
