Try getting a photo of it and posting it for GingerPony and the other experts to look at, that way they can hopefully reassure you with actual evidence to go off. xxx

If it looks fully healed then it should be fine- the main thing with scars is something called adhesions, were the insides can become stuck to the newly formed scar tissue etc, tho if the snake seems in good health then I think it should all be fine.

true SB, adhesions would be my only real concern but if it's passing wee and poo ok then it doesn't sound like a problem to me

the only other issue to consider is if the snake might struggle to shed properly so adding a damp hide during this time will help
