If the snake is recovering from other issues then the lines may be from the presence or absence of nutrients/medication/etc from the treatment. Like how people can have changes in their hair or fingernails with certain treatments.

here is a few photos of his belly



its entirely possible I overreacted, maybe it's due to the daily baths in electrolytes or somethin? (ordered by the vet)
