Bad sheds = bad husbandry? Help!

Hi. I know I could google this question easily (and I have), but I'd like to hear from you in real time. I'm a fairly new snake owner with a ball python who has bad sheds.

Ratties??

Does anyone here have experience breeding rats? I hope so! I am having real difficulties trying to get any of my rats to breed. My oldest sister had rats breeding out the wazoo for years but none of mine will breed.

While I had my boa out this morning, I noticed something a little strange. He has these lines of scales that are kind of lifted along his body in a uniform fashion. They all have about the same about of space between them. I've never seen or heard of anything like this before.
